gpm and console questions

[Artem B. Bityuckiy]

Hello.

I have several questions about gpm and linux console.

Sometimes I need copy something "into mouse" (I hope you understand what 
I exactly mean) and paste this into linux console command line.
Example: some programs isn't compiled. I use gcc -v, copy intermediate 
gcc calls (as, ld) and paste them to command line. The pasted text is 
large enough. I have two problems with this:
1. Insertion goes very slow! I need to wait about 20 seconds! My 
hardware is good enough (P4-1800). Why so slow? How to accelerate this? 
When I used RH7.x this was very fats. But in RH9 and FC1 - slow.
2. Sometimes lines are broken. E.g. I want to insert line "gcc 
-L/include -o xxx.o", but two lines are inserted: "gcc -L/include" and 
"-o xxx.o".

And the third: sometimes mouse cursor disappears (in text consoles). I'm 
performing "/etc/init.d/gpm restart" to reload gpm. Why my gpm dies 
sometimes? Where can I see logs?

May be some FAQ exists where I can read how to solve these 3 issues?

Thanks.
