Fixed in revno 117582 in trunk

Emacs is still slow, but at least responds to commands.  I feel that
everything that could be optimized on the comint side is pretty much
there and that the slowness being experienced is in fact related to the
long-lines slowness bug mentioned before[0].

Here's the current output for elp-results:

May confirm what is reported here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20128425/can-i-stop-the-repl-locking-up-when-using-emacs-and-python

Form sent is

[[[False] * 200 for i in range(3)] for j in range(200)]

Does only occur with plain Python-shell, not if IPython is running.

IIUC that's because IPython return is passed through a kind of pretty-print, inserting newlines.

Comints dealing with long lines seems the cause.

With process-send-string it works.
