Yes, I've seen lots of reports for repeat delays when googling to solve 
my problem.
For which there are solutions/workarounds, like using "xset r ...".

Unfortunately, I didn't find a solution for a not-working "up" key 
(which is also not mentioned in the bug report you mention).

Which is really bad when someone is using the PC for 
programming/administering :(
