Does anyone have any clue why this and v. 1.0.3 respond so SLOWWWWWLY to keyboard input on older computers? The previous versions didn't have that issue.
Aside from smartasses suggesting hardware upgrades, is there some sort of workaround?

Exploits will be found faster and fixed faster with Open Source projects than with proprietary code... more eyes on the code, more suggestions for fixing, etc
