Perhaps I'm missing something, but I see bad_rate being used in
the functions `update_window', `update_frame_1', and `scrolling' (all
on dispnew.c), and in several places on scroll.c and term.c (the
latter probably irrelevant to X).

In all of those places, the value of baud_rate is compared agains the
magic value of 2400.  In addition, scroll.c's computation of the
update cost depends on the value of baud_rate.

This is what I had in mind when I wrote the above paragraph.  However,
I never fully understood the details of those computations, so perhaps
I'm barking the wrong tree here ;-)
