Issue
Hi!
Hyper is very slow on startup and can sometimes take up to 5-6 seconds to start!
Also, when typing commands, I feel like there is a bit of delay between the moment where I press the key and the moment where it actually appears on the screen.
Hyper is beautiful, but it is very much slower than terminator for example.
Is it an electron-related problem? If so, why did you choose Electron?
Is it likely to be fixed in the next versions?
Thanks in advance for all your answers, keep up the good work!

Research direction
Reproduce the startup delay and typing lag in Hyper.app 3.0.2 on Ubuntu 19.04 with the default .hyper.js. Start with the Hyper.app devtools and compare behavior against the reported vanilla setup. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and validating improved startup or input responsiveness.
