I found that Windows XP's "Clear Type" font smoothing algorithm makes rxvt 
virtually unusable on my machine at work. Chaning the AA setting to 
"Standard" made me happy again.
But that may be a very special case, since this machine is a dual proc 
dual screen system with a TNT2 and a Voodoo3 graphics card - doesn't make 
it really easy for windows I think.
OTOH: on my machine at home - single proc, single GF card - I am quite 
happy with Clear Type and the performance of rxvt.

I sure don't know if you're in a similar situation as I am at work but if 
you're using XP and Clear Type it's at least worth a try switching it off 
/ to Standard.
