Normally this delay occurs if your connection is not fast enough, especially 
the upload (since you are uploading the characters that you type). I 
encounter this regularly when I have an p2p app (like mldonkey) running which 
eats up almost all of my upload bandwidth. The download speed is okay though, 
because I see the output without delay. You can test it with anything that 
gives lots of output very quickly.

To check your connection run netstat and look at the TCP section (it's the 
first at the top). Or if you want to see the raw network activity check 
/proc/net/dev . To see the changes in the values run
"watch -d cat /proc/net/dev" . If you have a continuous upload stream maybe 
it's coming from your apache when it has many requests? Try shutting it down 
and see if that's the problem.


Hope it helps.
