This is perhaps the most frequently asked question about Kermit protocol,
and so the answer can be found in the Kermit Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ):

Briefly: Kermit is slow if you use the default tuning, which is designed to
make it work "out of the box" even on very poor connections. You can issue
some simple commands to make it go as fast as the connection will allow,
provided you have good Kermit software implementations on each end of the
connection.
