Red Ryder 9.4 or 10.3 have always kept up with 2400 for me (Mac+, 80meg HD)...
try either of those.  I know that Microphone II and a few other terminals use a
line buffer-- they only draw a line of text after either data has stopped
coming in or a CR has been sent (actually, it seems that incoming data
interrupts all redraws on some terminals-- this can be really annoying; if you
backspace at high speed, you can't see how far you have backspaced until you
let go of the backspace key).

From your description, it doesn't sound like anything nasty is installed (by
nasty, I mean anything that takes up a large amount of background or
_SystemTask time),  so it must be the terminals....
