One problem I spotted with the current branch is that it's still
sluggish when commands are repeated very fast.  For example, visit the
long-line.xml file, then lean on C-n or <DOWN> arrow -- you will see
that this gets back to the very slow responses after traversing
several lines.  By contrast, pressing C-n one keystroke at a time,
even if I do that as fast as I can (say, 5 keypresses per second)
performs much faster.

The autorepeat rate on this system is about 30 per second.  And this
is an unoptimized build, in case it matters.

Thanks.
