I can't reproduce the issue on Linux with the Entry widget, but can reproduce 
it with the Text widget. The difference is that the Text widget wraps its 
content on multiple lines. Looks the code for dynamical splitting the text on 
lines has quadratic (or larger) complexity. IDLE itself already suffers from 
similar issue for output text (issue1442493).

For issue1442493 we can preprocess output text. I don't know if we can add a 
handler for preprocessing pasted text, and wherever it is worth to do. Even if 
this is possible, new code can be too complex for such corner case.
