I got slowness problem on my iTerm2. iTerm2 keeps update frequently with some improvements but still felt it's not enough to me to just perform some basic features. I have gone back to the default Terminal app of macOS and do my job on it. Seems slowness/lagging situations were not happened anymore.

But the default Terminal app is actually missing things of iTerm2 which are things I actually work with every day: Multi-panes instead of multi-tabs and the panes can be resizable.

I heard about Tmux before, but never try it yet. Just have a quick test and feel happy with its features.

With just one simple picture above and this article How to resize panes in Tmux. I won't be depended on iTerm2 just from today.
