I prefer iTerm2 for its features, but Terminal.app outperforms it in terms of responsiveness. I mostly notice this in Vim: iTerm gets choppy during scrolling and/or rapid cursor movement.
Is there anything I can do to improve iTerm's performance, or must I simply take the good with the bad? Would it be any better if I switched from bash to zsh, or is rendering speed totally unrelated to which shell I'm running?

Other than transparency and blur which are known, and probably not used by any serious users ;) .... your should check how many triggers your have (regexps).
Get some stats on performance here: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/143#note_26403647
I am still digging into this subject.

Here's something you can do, according to their FAQ:
Make sure you are running the latest version. Disable transparency and blur. Use a solid background color rather than an image.
