Yes - running vim outside screen (xterm, gnome-terminal etc.) works 
fine. Running it in screen, in either an xterm or a gnome-terminal gives 
the problematic behaviour. Xorg CPU usage is noticably higher with 
gnome-terminal and the delay (several minutes for gnome-terminal) 
between pasting and some text appearing in the editor feels slightly 
less, but the same basic problem persists.

There is no problem when pasting into vim running in a plain xterm (no 
screen).

Regards,
Bryn.
