Looping was only part of the problem. Large selection was also a factor. If
Emacs will request large selections from other programs, they can become
sluggish too. In the common case this is not a problem as selection usually
are small, i.e. a couple of lines.

I did try it. Open up an OO document with some pages, select all text in the
document. Move to Emacs, kill some text, C-y, M-y
I get the OO document pasted as a big chunk of text. Pasting the selection
from other applications into Emacs (or any other application) over a slow link
is already a problem. This would make it worse.
