On a graphical terminal, kill-new calls interprogram-cut-function to set
the clipboard (or the X selection, for Emacs 23). That may be causing
the slowdown. Could you set interprogram-cut-function to nil and see if
it makes any difference? If so, we need to figure out why
interprogram-cut-function is slow on your computer.
