A mode that causes massive slowdowns for me is Ispell. Replaying macros
while Ispell is active is a tedious affair.
I'm not familiar with the Flash format. What you're doing looks kind of
cool. Do you have a mode associated with XFF? Can you switch to
Fundamental mode (M-x fu)?
You can change the radix of quoted values. The following is from the
help for quoted-insert, which is bound C-q:
"The variable `read-quoted-char-radix' specifies the radix for this
feature; set it to 10 or 16 to use decimal or hex instead of octal."

If I try to create a file of "\xff", emacs becomes very slow! For
example, the following keys "<Esc> 5 2 4 2 8 8 <C-Q> 2 5 5 <return>"
will start to consume an enormous amount of CPU time. It is next to
impossible to move around in the file (or do anything).
I was trying to create a "blank" flash image. I was rather astounded
at the amount of CPU time this took. I think that this is actually
"\xad", because emacs is using octal and not decimals for quoted
values. Why is it so slow?

Bill Pringlemeir.
