So you record a macro in a message buffer.  Then you play it back in
the message buffer and it's slow.  But playing it back in another
buffer is fast?

If it was so slow that you can hit C-g between two characters, then
M-x toggle-debug-on-quit RET might help.  It works like this: hit
C-g, study backtrace.  Hit c.  Wait.  Hit C-g again, study new
backtrace.  Repeat.  After a while, you might see a pattern.

The key part is in the "Wait" step.  That's where Emacs makes its
normal progress.  So if you manage to make that waiting so short that
you can interrupt Emacs ten times between two characters, then you'll
have ten snapshots of what Emacs is doing there.  Maybe that tells
you something.
