I'm ready for the next iteration. Trunk rev. 995 has two major changes. First, drawing keys should be faster again, CPU load ought to go down a bit for most key presses. Second, it has some experimental code to reduce the risk for repeated keys. It's difficult for me to simulate Atom conditions, so I'd appreciate if you'd help with testing.

@Francesco, if you find the time, would you please update the snapshots PPA for mrDoctorWho? Thanks in advance.
@mrDoctorWho, please update to snapshot 995 once it arrives
@David, please update your local branch with bzr pull.

To enable the low-latency code, run Onboard like this:
$ onboard --low-latency
Then let me know if this makes is harder to get repeated keys. If that helps and doesn't break anything important, I'll make it the default. Note: screen updates of Onboard's keys may be somewhat delayed.
