 If I hit M-x, I want to see M-x.  If I hit C-u M-x I want to see C-u

 drive me to homicidal frustration. 
Although I don't like Martin's change, I simply cannot buy this
statement.  If your connection is so slow that a single sentence slows 
things down, then how can you possibly use XEmacs over it?  XEmacs is
totally unoptimized for slow TTY connections (or slow X connections,
for that matter.)
