Further investigation points to work performed in sys/dev/wscons over the
6.6 development period:

https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/sys/dev/wscons/?sortby=date#dirlist

Once I created /etc/wsconsctl.conf and set the following (6 times larger
than the default):
keyboard.repeat.del1=2400
keyboard.repeat.deln=600

Keystrokes and response under VNC returned to normal.  However, wsconsctl
isn't available in the installer so it makes it extremely hard to install
OpenBSD 6.6 into a bhyve guest using UEFI/VNC.

Note:  This issue does not appear on a real console on say the installer on
a T460 etc.
