anything specific about what might be causing the slow behavior.  I can 
definitely type in the terminal window as fast as possible with not slow 
effects, so I think it is isolated to behaviors that feed a string to the 
terminal.  Another interesting behavior is with a recent patch I submitted.  
The patch allows the user to select multiple lines in the history, right-click 
and send them all to the terminal for execution.  The interesting bit is that 
all but the final line of commands is sent to the terminal and executed 
immediately, but the final line of the history has the characters appear slowly.
