Ha, yes! This precisely. I'd never noticed that correlation before, but
it does seem to hold 100% in the tests I've just done.

You only see this over a modem? Hrm. I see it while at work, sshed from the
slow ultra 1 on my desk to the huge beast in the basement with the
gigs of RAM, over what I *think* is 100 base T. At the very least it's 10.

Hmm. I wonder if it's related to the fact that I have
Device, Retain=2
in my .idlstartup. I'll try again tomorrow with that line commented out
and see if that speeds things up over the local LAN.

This makes it somewhat faster, but still slow, at least over the
1.5Mbs DSL line I have at home. I routinely get 800 kbps file transfers to
my office, so the net is fast enough to past a line of text faster
than a few characters per second...

as in fact this demonstrates, by making pastes of several pages of text
nearly instantaneous when no windows are open.

Interesting. Do you know if RSI is aware of this issue? (Not that it's
necessarily of tremendous priority, but it is quite the annoyance.)
In any case, I can work around it for now with windows closed when
possible. Thanks.
