Hm, dunno what all is in that kernel. Huge swapout with yum upgrade

Yes, that's the symptom I was refering to. If you see that under
reasonable CPU load, and _without_ major swapping going on, then I'd be
suspicious of scheduler trouble. Swap can definitely keep X off the cpu
for extended periods, and that seems to be what triggers the repeated
keys behavior. (I've never troubleshot it, so must say _seems_)
