Do NOT turn off flowcontrol with Kermit, you'll get buffer overruns out
the kazoo with any recent (post 2.29a) Z-100 kermit.  In the rare case
it can keep up (true only in an Alpha test version I shipped to a brave
soul), there is no additional overhead if flow control is left on.

I really gotta get that silly thing out the door...

As I mentioned, some other tools (using ymodem I think) do better.
This is because Kermit, designed for micro-mainframe use, assumes an
unclean data path and quotes many characters.  I never use ymodem,
myself, but there exist many fans of it.
