Thank you. I was unaware of all of these.

How can I determine if this is it? I'm using an xterm, with TERM=xterm.
Below is the output of 'infocmp xterm'.

This can not be the problem, since I have not set the value, and the
default is on. This means that the function keys that start with <Esc>
will be recognized. Thus, that should cause m ESC to take 1 second to
register with vim.
> :help gui-extras
This also is not the problem. I ran the sample code at the very end of
my .vimrc
if has("gui_running")
echo "yes, we have a GUI"
else
echo "Boring old console"
endif
and got back "Boring old console".
Thanks very much for trying to help me track down this issue,
Bob Rossi
