Or perhaps `while-no-input'?  :-)

Anyway, reading this bug report, the reported slowness itself was
fixed.  Stefan wondered why the `while-no-input' thing didn't do the
right thing to break out of it all?  I think?  But as there is no way to
reproduce the bug any more, it seems unlikely that we'll make any
further progress in this bug report, and I'm re-closing it again.

If somebody finds a way to reproduce this (seven years later), please
open a new bug report.
