I'm shelled into my linode and am trying to edit some scripts but each keystroke shows screen output 5-10 seconds later. This is very irritating.

Here's what I have so far:

(Hop 11 is probably my firewall blocking ICMP)

I don't see anything jumping out at me. I'm about to run an 'lsof -i' and will report any anomalies.
