I don't think it matters.

So you, too, see a slowdown.

Actually, the options that could affect performance are identical,
AFAICT, thanks.

If in Emacs 24 or 25 you set bidi-display-reordering to nil in the
*ansi-term* buffer, do you see any significant speedup?

Another thing to try is load term.el from Emacs 23 into Emacs 24 or
25, and see if that results in any speedup.

Thanks.
