Thanks.  Setting maptimeout to 0 did the trick and function
 keys still work fine (under xterm... a dumb terminal would
 probably have issues I'd guess).

This doesn't explain why I had no such delay symptoms in emacs-20.7 -
 even when maptimeout was set to 300ms and viper-ESC-keyseq-timeout was
 set to 200ms.  But that's probably a question for the emacs/viper folk.
