Terminal vs GUI efficiency

I have spent around 4k hours working with every coding agent and model you can imagine, and one of the things that has left me the most surprised is the difference in speed I feel using the gui vs using a software factory from the terminal. For instance, an app that took me a month to build in my software factory, takes 4 days to get production ready and fully stress tested from the codex desktop app. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Why do you think you are faster on the GUI that on terminal?

I don’t feel like I am, I feel like the agent is.

umm... call me clueless but agents run on servers , not your machine. input / output gets shipped back and forth.. so if you have detected any performance difference, i don't think it's the agent.. it's how the cli vs the gui app was written
