Testing with ksh I always get the performance that I expect. The problem is that, even on a machine with load average 0.02, when I lean on the h or l key to move the cursor quickly, nothing happens for a while and then it jumps 20 or 30 characters.

Recently we've been noticing that command-line editing } seems to have become much slower. For quite some time now I've been noticing that my keyboard "driver" loses its key-repeat-rate setting. That is, have to use the console "kbdrate" command to restore it, it has nothing to do with the X11 key repeat setting. This doesn't happen in any regular way that I can track down, and I sometimes go for weeks without it happening at all. However, your problem is more likely related to something else I've noticed: ioctl()/stty doesn't always report the right simulated "baud rate" for X terminal emulators. ZLE adjusts its display behavior based on the reported baud rate. I've had to put code into my .zshrc to force the BAUD variable to have a reasonable setting regardless of what stty claimed it to be.
