This. I still do not understand why the OSX terminal is so damned slow.

Me either. It's really the only thing stopping me from deleting MacVim.

Any reason why you can't use iTerm 2. Honestly I can't see any reason to use the built in terminal when iTerm2 is so good.

Also nice is the TMUX integration.

Is the Keyboard Repeat Rate or Delay Until Repeat set to low? (System Preferences -> Keyboard)

Nope, that's something I take care of immediately on OSX. I think Terminal.app is just slow when redrawing the screen while scrolling.
