I tried to use Emacs under Windows, but it just took forever to render a simple window of text! This can't be normal, I can't figure out how a lengthy REPL session can fail to scroll faster than molasses.

That's definitely not normal. I don't know about your settup, but for me a defalt install of Emacs on Windows is snappier than most Windows programs. This is the case even when running Slime or another interpreter. If you're interested, there is a nice build patched varienat of emacs for Windows called EmacsW32: http://www.ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html http://www.ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html
