Terminal Emulators Comparison

I recently checked out a number of different terminal emulators, with the intent of changing my default terminal emulator. I thought folks here might find my results mildly interesting.
( my setup and my criteria )
I arranged my results into those which have transparency and those which don't, since the ones that don't are ones I am not interested in. Also, there were some that simply didn't work for me.
Note that the figures for memory are Virtual/Resident, and I found out the information by running
ps -eo 'pid,user,vsz,rsz,args' | grep program name
( the terminals with transparency )
( the terminals without transparency )
( the terminals which wouldn't run for me )
( Verdict )
