URxvt is fast, but still has a mean input latency of 18.3 ms. Try Xterm it only adds 1.7 ms to the stack. I find the difference very noticeable. I switched from URxvt to Xterm a few years back, although I had to give up on proper UTF-8 glyph rendering.

Low latency is important for me, because I use Vim inside Tmux inside Xterm inside Xorg and latencies add up.
