For testing, I tried some terminals with several themes (e.g. oh-my-zsh), initialization scripts (.rc files) and many of my simple pty-like programs (using forkpty). Some of them lags in my PC which is not so high-end. So I want to test the time difference between the real program output (or its execution time) and when the output is shown in terminal. But not the execution time of that program.
If there is other way to benchmark only the terminal please correct me. Though I am interested in GNU/Linux distributions, a generalized answer is preferable.

I don't understand what you want to measure. The time it takes for the terminal itself to display a short piece of text is almost always too small to measure, so I don't think that's what you want. Scrolling can be slow for large amounts of text, but that's unrelated to what's running in a terminal. If a zsh theme feels slow, for example, it would be due to what it does, not due to how the terminal displays a few characters of output. What do you actually want to measure?

You can start by runningtime cat $(yes /etc/mailcap | sed 100q)inside different terminal emulators -- eg. it's about 5 times faster in mlterm, than in xterm, and I hadn't had the patience to wait until it finishes in a linux frame buffer console ;-)
