Well, don't you run into more serious problems under heavy interrupt load?

In fact, the rest of the system seems to be working quite well.

An autorepeat becoming more slowly than usual looks minor to me in this case.

The problem is not that autorepeat is slow, but that it sometimes for some reason loses the keypress event, and repeats the key (wrongly) infinitely. This doesn't seem to happen in console, so it's not a bug in the in-kernel/in-HW autorepeat. Also, it seems that not only *HUGE* interrupt latencies cause problems, but also increasing an scheduling latency a little bit causes the xorg autorepeat misbehave. This has been recently uncovered by latency problems of group scheduler in linux kernel. It made the scheduling latencies grow for X, and that caused broken autorepeat.
