Hi!

It seems that this problem is only affecting me.

In the meanwhile I've noticed that this delay seems to be really X
dependent, since almost every applications exhibits it.
For instance, I've tried with:
* bash inside xterm (e.g., execute "ls" and then move up with Shift+PgUp)
* gvim
...

Please, can anyone help me?

Thank you very much!!

Cheers,
