How slow? When I cat'ed a 75000 line on my system, using a transparent
mrxvt with Xft + anti-aliasing (which is always the slowest at drawing
text), it finished in 5 seconds. Doing the same in an inactive tab or
obscured window finished in less than a second.
Doing the same on xterm took over 2 minutes. (Same when the xterm window
was hidden. And it flickered a *lot*).

Did you have Xft enabled in both mrxvt and xterm?
Anyway, if you want this to perform better / worse look at the
documentation about --skipPages / --refreshLimit.

PS: I find it surprising that 0.5.4 performs *worse* than it's
predecessors. The --skipPages / --refreshLimit options were
introduced in 0.5.3 (I think), after which mrxvt outperforms it's
predecessors and xterm by a *large* margin.
There was such an issue raised before, which was because the debug
option was enabled. Did you disable debug in your 0.5.4
installation?
