Pj:

Thanks for the reply. I have tried all the tests suggested regarding 
slow keys and nothing has come up positive. Multiple times this has 
happened while typing at a speed better than hunt and peck but slower 
than full-on "proper touch typing". I'll check out your suggestion with 
a search, but I am more inclined to believe it is related to X as others 
have suggested.
