It may help to find out what program is slowing the keys down.  If you 
know that, you may be able to disable it, or configure it not to 
activate without user input.

You might try this: open a terminal and run this command:

ps aux > fast.txt

Leave the terminal open and go back to work.  When SlowKeys manifests, 
go back to the terminal and do the same thing again, putting the output 
in slow.txt before de-activating the slow keys.  Then you can run diff 
on the two files to see what's changed, because one of the new programs 
is probably the one you want to look at.  HTH, HAND.
