Speed of IDLE output degrades to 'unusable' after upgrade to Python 2.4

Upgraded from 2.2.2 to 2.4 and all seems to work as before except the output to the IDLE window is now twenty times slower than it was before. The statement    for i in range (100): print i now takes about forty-five seconds to complete! It used to be two seconds. Python 2.4 on Windows ME.
