Simply put, many full-screen terminal-oriented programs like pine, elm, emacs, etc., insert padding in their output to keep your fifteen-year-old VT100 from dropping half your screen updates. Naturally, this padding depends on what the program thinks is the `speed' of your `serial line'. If the `speed' is very high, then it will send huge amounts of padding, which you will observe as pauses. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
