Using :spawn, without dedicated output stream. Dedicated output stream probably has a much better performance, but where does /that/ much overhead come from in the default implementation?

I honestly never looked it up, but I assumed since the start that the emacs buffer handling and display code itself was quite heavy. If slime is partly responsible and can be improved, I'm all for it :)

However, occasionally I also noticed slime getting extremely (abnormally) slow if the slime output contained particular data (I think long lines made it worse), and the buffer had to be cleared.
