Sorry, my retraction of the bug report appears premature.  It repeats 
with regularity now on my iMac, with current changesets and the B5 
MacOS VM.  The problem, as mentioned, is that events, after a bunch 
have backed up, tend to fire off at the rate of about 1 per second, 
which can only be heightened by, for example, pressing the shift key, 
or the like.

This problem or problems similar to this, tends to account for some 
sluggishness I have recently experienced in Morphic, where hitting a 
shift key tends to make things come "back to life."

Is anyone else experiencing these issues?  I suggest running the 
script I posted at the beginning of this thread, opening a transcript 
and running a long sentence with overlapping keypresses.  After a 
bit, the event listings slow down to less than one per second or so.

This is a real problem for real-time game I/O.
