I'm wondering if you're confusing nodejs with HTML/CSS web renderers like Electron, which have received a lot of criticisms for being slow, and also use a nodejs runtime internally.
Electron uses nodejs/v8 as a backend, with Blink/HTML/CSS rendering the UI - the latter introduces some of the well documented performance challenges. This appears to use nodejs/v8 as a backend with your terminal (of choice) rendering the UI.
Perhaps I'm completely misreading your question though.
