You mean 'C-x e', not 'C-x C-e', right?

I just inserted several lines like

# New Exception Call:       PD0TEST/J

into the *scratch* buffer and defined your keyboard macro.  I didn't notice any 
delay the first time I ran it.  Might there be some other conditions necessary 
to reproduce the problem?  Is the mode of the buffer relevant?  Can you 
reproduce the problem starting from 'emacs -Q'?
