Of course, I haven't tried it but I'm not thrilled by anything (else)
that introduces a noticeable delay. One of the cool things about
brltty (especially in Linux) is how snappy it is compared to
Windows. I've noticed how the routing keys are slower than they used
to be to solve some other problem. It's not getting in the way but
still a tad disappointing. I wonder if others might find the cost of
this new change too high.

But when I see it I might not even notice. I have no idea. (Ain't it
fun? :-))
