* Repeat Delay: This is the length of time that a key must be held down before the typematic feature is activated. Each time you release a key and press a new one, the delay "countdown" is reset. The larger the value, the longer each key must be held down before key repetition begins. If it is set too small, you may get keys repeating when you don't want them to. * Repeat Rate: This sets the frequency with which characters will be sent once the typematic feature is activated.

The speed of your typing is related to the speed setting of your keyboard. If you set it to slow, you'll be like a snail. If you want to act like a Maserati on the keyboard, you need the engines tuned. Set your keyboard to fast so you don't sit there and wait for it. And if it's too fast for you, leave it on anyway and get used to it. You'll be the better for it.
