The delay was implemented by choosing the next time the key can be sent. It was choosen as the time of sending the previous key + random. This causes slow writing to never trigger any delays as the actual time of a new keypress arriving was often longer than the random delay amount. This change makes it so that the first and every other keycode sent to the OS is delayed with a random delay from the previous one. The first key starting from an empty buffer arrives with a random delay. If the buffer is not empty after sending the keycode, another delay is armed. This causes the key buffer to overflow much faster as every key is delayed by AT LEAST the randomly chosen delay and there is no way to write any faster, so the buffer was expanded yet again.
