    Is it slow because of the way uemacs updates the screen?  Things like
'stevie' and 'less' use proper screen I/O, but they don't suffer from 
sluggishness and they work over a terminal.  uemacs also seems to want to
combine a bunch of pending scroll commands into one screen update.  That
would make sense for a graphics-based editor, but I thought the text mode
was fast enough to avoid that (on a local terminal anyway).

    In any case, are you still maintaining the GS version?  I've come across
a few bugs while writing the MuGS scripts.
