speed of text display

Why does it take so long to print a bunch of lines?

when I do:
for i = 1 to 400 by 1 do
     puts (1, "exampleexampleexampleexampleetcetcet")
end for

it takes forever. Not that it is a very important point,or I would ever need a
program to do this. but I just wanted to know why. I know it couldnt be because
the interpreter is slow. It takes probably over a minute just to do that.


I would make a good member of a large crowd :)
