When using the old repl (started via $env:PYTHON_BASIC_REPL="true"; python in powershell), pasting the string is near immediate. When using the new repl (started via python in powershell), pasting the string takes 15 seconds.

The closed issue #119517 also mentioned some pasting performance issues, though that was for Linux with significantly more characters.
