It is if not the best, then at least both the fastest and most reasonable way to use VTE. Actually when/if they finally add scrollback search it will be the one and only terminal for me. It can be compiled to use bitmap font like <a href="http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster" rel="nofollow">Terminus</a> with no antialiasing. Speaking of Gnome-Terminal, have you ever tried EvilVTE?

You might be interested in Trevor Lowing's page on <a href="http://www.lowing.org/fonts/" rel="nofollow">monospace/fixed width programmer's fonts</a>. Lots of good fonts listed there. I'm currently using <a href="http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/jimmy-en.html" rel="nofollow">Terminus</a> with <a href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html" rel="nofollow">rxvt-unicode</a> on Linux and <a href="http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/" rel="nofollow">Sheldon</a> with cmd.exe on Windows. Tuomov's got an <a href="http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/b/archives/2006/03/17/T20_15_31/" rel="nofollow">interesting opinion</a> on the subject, too. I also like non-antialiased fonts for terminals.
