I seriously doubt that the effect of the terminal emulator on dnf speed
is even measurable. The whole thing is dominated by network I/O and
local processing of package files.

I also use Ubuntu and Debian distros.   The "apt" tool is quite a bit faster than "dnf" on the same 
hardware, and they have aptitude, a text-mode front-end that is fast and gives quick access to 
package descriptions and can download change logs with a single keypress.
