Disable transparency and anti-aliasing does have a minimal effect on speed. Turning off blur can improve performance dramatically for users with older computers.

- <div class="answer"><p>Yes, there is. There is a hidden setting of StrokeWidth and BoldStrokeWidth that you can play with. See the <a href="http://iterm.sourceforge.net/resource.shtml">Resource</a> page for details. Set them to 0 gives you a standard anti-alias rendering.
