Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Reproduce the startup or terminal-opening delay on Ubuntu 24.04 with Warp v0.2024.08.13.08.02.stable_04 and bash 5.2.21, compare it with another terminal, and define done as eliminating or explaining the reported 2–4 second difference.

Dupe Check
Describe the bug

On the Warp website it is plastered that "Built with Rust for speed" tho, The Warp Terminal take 2-3 seconds more. This makes the overall productivity worse and can be hassle. (This is less of a bug report but a more of a feature request)

To reproduce

1: Open Warp
2:Open Terminal
(Warp is 2-4 seconds slower

Expected behavior

if it is "Built with Rust for speed" Shouldn't it be 1/2 to 1 seconds faster then the terminal?
