Whoa... seriously weird. Any chance there's something xtermish going on, like 'ttyslow' or something? I don't recall the exact setting ancient 'vi' had, but there was one for slow tty lines, that would wait for you to finish a line when editing before doing a screen-update. With a faster line, the display could be updated for each character typed/inserted/deleted/etc., but for slower lines, to eliminate horrendously slow redraws of the screen or even a *line* (that "inchworm effect" when inserting text at the middle of a line), there was a way to turn on a sort of "lazy update" of the screen, eg, when you'd hit <esc> so that it knew you stopped inserting text. Other'n that suggestion, I can't even guess... :\
