Hmm... yes. I've tried with xterm using a 20,000-line scrollback,
and zsh:
for i in {1..30000}; echo $i
On my 400 Mhz PowerBook G4, Debian/testing, XTerm 225: 71 seconds
(but only 6 seconds with a 600-line scrollback).
With rxvt (and a 20,000-line scrollback): 17 seconds.
On my 2.7 GHz Power Mac G5, Mac OS X 10.4.9, XFree86 4.3.99.903(184):
6 seconds.
