Doesn't surprise me: most of the time is spent in term.el's business
logic, not in Emacs display primitives.
If you want to work on speeding up term.el, I suggest to start by
loading term.el (not term.elc) manually, and repeating the profiling
session. That could tell you in more detail where are the hot sports
in those functions at the top of the profile. Then some clever
optimization ideas are needed to make it significantly faster.
Thanks.
