Bug#675432: xterm scrolling is very slow

[David Griffith <dave@661.org>]

Package: xterm
Version: 278-1
Severity: normal

Compared to Xterm in Squeeze, Xterm in Wheezy is very slow to scroll and 
update.  This leads to distracting flashes and empty blocks when 
scrolling or refreshing the screen.  What changed between Squeeze and 
Wheezy that would have caused this?
