How to speed up cutting & pasting from/to emacs?

I'm involved in a project which involves a lot of pasting into emacs
From the clipboard, which is taking a long time.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq kill-ring-max 300)
(setq save-interprogram-paste-before-kill t)
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That is from my init.org and is the only thing relating to the
clipboard.

How can I speed up the cutting and pasting please?

I've tried using the 'clipmon' program but that causes my emacs to
freeze, and sometimes the whole setup so that I have to reboot!

Thanks
Sharon.
