I don't think the terminal connection speed is the main issue.  The
main issue is do we want the ability to interrupt redisplay if it
takes too long and new input is available.  We do know that redisplay
is sometimes slow.  One example is scrolling through a large buffer,
when JIT fontification takes too long, and the user already pressed
C-v.

But if no one customizes this variable to a nil value, at least in
some cases, then keeping it is not important.
