xterm is even the slowest around (the start up benchmarks that i have seen, recomend gnome-term,
but i think gnome-term is fast to start-up, but it takes A LOT while
running! )

rxvt and aterm are very good,
i use aterm for general purpose and urxvt when i need unicode (mutt, irc).

generaly unicode does make apps take more memory, cause characters take
more ... you know ..
