I've noticed that shell-mode on very recent (i.e., since after New
Year's) versions of CVS Emacs on Windows is quite slow, and the CPU
usage is high, for a second or two after I hit RET
(comint-send-input).  I haven't yet investigated, but if this sounds
like it might be related to your patch (which I think, but cannot
right now confirm, is present on the Emacs in question), let me know
if I can give you any more information.
