It seems fine to me but I'm not sure what the poster means by letter
display rate.
for i in range(100):
print
'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
happens faster than I can see.
When I typed the string 'aaaaa... the key repeat rate appeared to be
identical to what I get in a command prompt window.
So it seems just like working at the python prompt to me, only much
better cause of ipython.
I'm using WindowsXP on a darn fast dual processor machine, so maybe
that biases my results. Characters take a long strange trip from
keyboard to display but I don't think I've got any explicit delays in
the readline code.
Perhaps Ron can provide a more specific example of the problem he is having?
