Wouldn't it be best for the Swank evaluation RPCs to force the output themselves? This is just as simple to implement, doesn't introduce potential performance problems of unbuffered I/O, and solves the problem more clearly where it is occurring. (This is what I do in SLIME48.)
How about
(progn (format t "Wait 10 secs...") (sleep 10) (format t "...done.~%"))
Does it do what you would expect from an unbuffered stream?
I've been using the streams unbuffered for the past year or so, and have never noticed any performance problems.
