That's a good point, John, but Sarath did the same pasting into vi
(vim tiny?) and emacs and neither was as slow as vim, so it's not
just PuTTY.

I wonder if the problem would be there using telnet instead of ssh
and if so, if Wireshark would reveal anything interesting.

I use PuTTY on Windows 7 over ssh to vim on Linux all the time and
most of the time I don't notice any speed issues at all, including
when I paste.
