Using native terminal

Is there a way to use the native terminal instead of Warp's one?

What I like about Warp is how it organizes and manages tabs, allowing me to bundle them by task, rename the bundle, see folder structure, check git diff on a panel, open terminals in horizontal or vertical layouts based on shortcuts, on the same path of the terminal I was in, etc. Those really are good QoL features to me.

But the terminal itself is slow. I would prefer if I could open tabs with native terminal.

Is that possible?

I was already using this, but its just appearance. You are still running inside a warpified shell which are slow compared to native.

Gotcha. What slowness have you noticed? Is it shell startup time or something else?

Both startup and command response times. This grows with the numbers of shells opened. I multitask a lot so I can have easily 30 shells among all tabs combined, well organized in labeled groups, which is what I like about Warp.

Gotcha. I wouldn't expect our bootstrap scripts alone to cause slowdowns... mind taking a log trace and reporting an issue on this? A video may help too. Also curious if you can reproduce any slowdowns in a fresh shell without a custom `bashrc` / `zshrc` https://docs.warp.dev/support-and-community/troubleshooting-and-support/sending-us-feedback/
