The exact number really isn't the point. The point is if the terminal emulator is 1% of that 200ms (or 100, or whatever), then who gives a shit. You should be buying a better monitor first.

I don't think the terminal emulator matters that much below some number, it's just that you picked a really high number and that the perception of slowness is neither linear nor the same across types of activities. I think this is generally a little bit of a weakness in the article itself.
