Not much, just a different font and reverse video. I used straight rxvt -fn 12x24 just like you have, only to find it is slightly slower, now about 16 seconds. I think the problem is not in rxvt but in xserver. My olpc is debxo 0.4 installed in internal flash. Is there a xserver dpkg from debxo 0.5 file I can grab to try out?
