I'm having a similar problem, but mine didn't go away it just got slow.
My machine has been up for about a week. Yesterday, I opened an
editor and started typing and the key repeat rate was slow. I have
no idea why. Do you know of any settings that control key repeat
rate? Somewhere in the alphabet soup of config files?
