As someone who uses Elm quite a bit at both 1200 baud and at 9600 baud,
let me add my vote for something similar to what Rich describes.
Better yet would be to make the .elmrc options speed dependent
(like the "rn" newsreader options).  If tty speed is below "X",
then set the option to this, else set it to that.
