It was inspired by the discussion starting with

The idea is to optimize pasted input using the assumption that it will be
mostly composed of characters that map to self-insert, and you can batch
read those characters and perform one display update.
The way to test whether or not a character will be inserted into the
editing buffer is to see whether or not it maps directly to self-insert.
If that's the problem, there will have to be a cygwin-specific fix; it
works elsewhere.

Bumping this thread because it is a new month. Also of note, it is now over 4
months since my initial report, and the errant version of readline has not been
patched or rolled back:

and I did post the potential problem code back in April:
