Bug Description
In several applications, there is a clearly noticeable lag between the time you hit a key and the time that the character is drawn in a text field. Since upgrading to Natty, due to the lag, I have noticed that it is easier to erase one too many characters when repeatedly hitting backspace.
It feels like I am typing on a remote machine with a slow network or like I'm typing on a machine with high load average. But I am not. I am on a local machine, the load average is 0.02, and I have a 6-core processor.
I have observed this behavior in Firefox, Google Chrome, and gedit, so it appears to affect multiple applications. It does not seem to affect typing in Terminal.
