Hi,
The following problem is only present in Mandrake so it is not totally OT. It doesn't occur in a Debian installation I have on the same machine.
Hardware: 512M memory, P4 2.4GHz. Mandrake Linux 9.2RC2 (same problem occured in 9.1) vim-enhanced 6.2-11mdk GNOME 2.4 (same problem occured in GNOME 2.2)
Holding a character or cursor key down to print a line of characters or to move through lines or holding down the backspace or delete key to erase a row of characters results in jumpy performance.
After a short while (10 to 12 characters) the curser stops, the light of my hd blinks once and then the cursor jumps forward (or backward) because it reads in the keybuffer. This is annoying because it sometimes deletes more than I want or prints more than I want.
This shows only in the configuration listed above and only in vim. I tested emacs and gedit and some other editors, also internal editors of mail apps and OpenOffice. Normal behaviour everywhere except in vim.
I looked at the .vimrc but there's nothing there which may result in such a problem.

wobo,
I'm not sure this is a problem specific with VIM. I say that because I haven't noticed this behavior in Vim, but have seen Bluefish exibiting this very behavior. I too am running Mdk9.2RC2. I saw the same behavior in the same program in RC1 as well.
