DELAY(1) is somewhet usable.
I think DELAY(1) is not accurate enough.
Indeed. But DELAY(10) is probably accurate enough, and certainly
efficient enough (though ugly) since the atkbd device has used DELAY(7)
and DELAY(20) for a long time without anyone noticing this slowing
down disk i/o. It would take about 100 active console input drivers
doing DELAY(10)'s to accumulate a delay of 1 mS.
I suggest that the DELAY(1000) is only active while a key is actually pressed.
See attached patch. Please test and report back.
Better.
