That's a really interesting thing. I just would like to call the attention for
one the things that may cause very different results. Try compiling a not so
small LaTeX document (I've done it with one of my undergraduation reports):

$ time latex <some document>.tex

It's amazing to see (at least for me) that XTerm wins gnome-terminal really easy
(sorry, I don't have KDE terminal emulator to do the same tests). That's
actually one of the reasons I've never used "fancy" terminal emulators, since
I'm using LaTeX frequently.

Hope this doesn't get too off-topic. ;)

Regards,
Adriano
