[BusyBox] ash is slow (built separately)

This seems to be the place for ash.... since it's being built into
busybox...

When I press Backspace it takes between .5 sec and 1 sec for it to move;
this can be very annoying when you have to edit.

There is a long standing bug where, if you recall a previous entry, and
edit it, depending on how you edit, you may wind up with some more
characters than you thought in your command.  Like this:

Before:

# ls -1 > foo
# echo "uhoh...."

After:

# ls -ltrd > foo
echo "uh

(gets executed)... and an error (rightfully so!) gets returned from the
shell since that's not a proper command...

Is the ash in busybox really the full NetBSD port?  That's really
something...
