that depends on what you are expecting... in pure DOS, there is only a 16
keystroke buffer... actually, it is 16 bytes... i had to clarify that
because some keys, the Fx keys, for instance, are two bytes instead of one
like the normal typewriter keys... in some cases, there may be an
additional keyboard buffer added to extend this...

however, you may also be talking about seeing "jerking" or
"hesitation" on the _screen_ and that would likely be from
background processing going on elsewhere in the machine...
