But does this influence the delay between different keystrokes? When I use the arrow keys to get around, I often find that the effect is way too slow. Is that a sign of an aging computer or is that, too, influenced by your suggestion?

Arie Folger I noticed that if you disconnect a PS/2 keyboard and then reconnect it while the computer is running the typing will be come much slower under Linux (until the next reboot). But it also happens on console, not only KDE.
