>Description:
Press a key and hold it and watch the delays after some chars
(between 8-20).
This is not limited to autoreat of one key, it also happens
when you just type words (like i do in this pr).
This problem happens under the console and in an xterm.
What is more serious is that the clock losses between 4-6 seconds in
one minute which doesn't happen under Windows.
I have a P-II 400 cpu with an Asus P2B board.
