I was using terminator for my terminal emulator, but I'm seeing huge performance issues with it. ie, launching a new terminal session takes 20-30 seconds on my netbook. gnome-terminal is better, but still takes 10-15 seconds to launch.
xterm however takes only a second or two. I'm fine using it, but I absolutely loathe the way it handles copy/paste.
How do I configure xterm to not copy something when highlighted via mouse (since I use a clipboard manager and I don't want my recently used entries to get nuked every time I select something) and use shift+ctrl+c/shift+ctrl+v for copy/paste?
OS is Debian 8, window manager is fluxbox.
Thanks!

When you are starting nextterminatoryou can hitctrl+shift+iwhich will spawn new window within the same process. That should take at most one second, even on old netbooks. You may also consider to start new tab (instead of new window) withctrl+shift+t. Splitting terminal is yet another option.

I was able to use CTRLSHIFTC and CTRLSHIFTV for Copy-and-Paste with XTerm by adding
XTerm*vt100.translations: #override
Shift Ctrl <Key> C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) n
Shift Ctrl <Key> V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)
to my ~/.Xresources and reloading it with xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources.
Documentation of this feature can be found in xterm(1), “Custom Key Bindings”.
