Tried Debian sarge: rxvt and rxvt-unicode are faster, but not blinding:
on a Celeron2GHz, takes 7 to 9 seconds, with 0 to 2 seconds CPU time in
the X server (depending on terminal size); rxvt or rxvt-unicode take 0.1
seconds only without "flushed" output, xterm or gnome-terminal take about
5 seconds without flush.

As per initial bug report:

>> ... 50 seconds ... At woody the above completed in under 1 second.

so it seems proved a regression.
