> The machine itself is a not so old multi-core server.  However, I am accessing it through Exceed onDemand Client 8 from a Windows desktop machine. And it doesn't matter which server I connect to.  Most likely, this client is a contributor to the problem.  
> If Emacs is not currently highlighting, the cursor moves instantaneously in response to rapid individual keystrokes as fast as I can type them.  However, if I press and hold say C-n, the cursor will move down line by line perhaps 10-30 or so times but then freeze for a while and finally reappear whenever I take my hands off the keyboard or at the bottom of the buffer if I don't release the key.

Thanks for the details.

It indeed sounds like Exceed is an important factor here.
