Some other examples:

GLterm: 3.9 sec
Terminal.app: 13.3 sec
rxvt in XDarwin: 31.0 sec
xterm in XDarwin: 44.5 sec
Samson (through telnet to localhost): 65.4 sec

These were all with an 80x40 terminal window displaying 9-11 point
non-antialiased fonts, and with 1000 line scrollback buffers.
Terminal is very sensitive to scrollback: if I turn off scrollback
entirely, the time goes up to 44 seconds.
