Mine does fine at 4800, unless a large proportion of the characters are
character inserts/deletes.  Line inserts/deletes/scrolling don't seem to
slow it down much (it manipulates pointers to lines instead of the lines
themselves).  Only time I've seen it go slow is with the printer port on
or when playing around with viewports (windows).
