You missed the point.  The point of this test was to see how fast the
terminal could process data WITHOUT having to send Flow control
characters.  Obviously, if the terminal sends an XOFF, the program
could not possibly run as fast as the actual sending baud rate.  In
other words, the test indicated that VT220s could keep up WITHOUT flow
control at 19200 baud.  Of course, this is only true of the type of
data that was tested: namely, no scrolling.
