Thanks.

Terminal and gnome-terminal with a lot of open windows/tabs are nearly
the same when comparing the memory usage, because VTE still requires a
*lot* of memory per screen (it's still looking for a new maintainer to
apply the huge amount of patches hanging on bugzilla). Terminal is
lighter on dependencies, starts up faster and offers more Xfce'ish
toggles (IMHO). And of course, Terminal's icon is nicer than
gnome-terminal's icon. ;-)
