I was bamboozled by a "slow crawl" on my IIci in VersaTerm right
after I installed a 24-Bit video card.  Now, when I want quick
text scrolling, I hop into Monitors and switch to 16-Colors from
"Millions" and it looks very nice and smooth.  If you're running
with a Millions-of-colors board and it's the text-on-screen that
is running slowly, try switching the color-display down.

This could have *nothing* to do with what you're describing, but
I was delighted to find this trick.
