Hi! I'm seeing what looks to me like quadratic behaviour on pasting long lines in readline applications like bash, python, psql.
To reproduce: open a new terminal with say bash, make a really long line (> 20k characters, e.g. with python -c 'print "a" * 20000'), then paste it into the terminal. The first characters are inserted quickly, but it gradually slows down. With enough data it ends up being so slow as to be unusable. If I start a new bash with bash --noediting and try the same paste, the characters show up instantaneously. At first I thought it was a problem with the terminal emulator, but the problem shows up both in xterm and gnome-terminal. I usually encounter it trying to paste a long command or a list of ids to a remote server.
