How about a global switch which would be checked before propertising any string in SLIME?

That's not easy to do because some commands wouldn't work without text props.

I'm facing emacs rendering-speed issues so I'm asking. And its not like you can do M-x font-lock-mode and turn display properties off

I think that text properties have only a small impact on rendering speed. We shouldn't optimize this before we actually know that the problem is caused by text props.

Also, any hope of REPL history behaviour getting reverted so it works like minibuffer history, especially for searching?

The probability for that is almost zero.
