Steps to reproduce

When I paste a line of text into PowerShell on the Raspberry Pi 8gb there is a noticeable lag in the output of the text. I would normally chalk this up to the Raspberry Pi being underpowered, but the pasting action is much faster in Bash. I've uploaded two short videos demoing what I'm talking about.

Expected behavior

I would expect the lines to paste almost instantaneously

Actual behavior

There is a noticeable delay

In my environment (X11, clipman):

shell	ctrl-v	ctrl-shift-v	mouse	shift-insert (primary)	mouse (primary)
pwsh	fast	slow	slow	slow	slow
bash	none	fast	fast	fast	fast

On Unix-like platforms, PowerShell (PSReadLine) uses simulated typing for pasting, which I think is the cause of the slowdown.

See the following for the (long) backstory:

• Right click paste should work mostly like Ctrl+v paste PSReadLine#579
