The phenomenon of the mouse freezing or keyboard input being delayed
does coincide with IDE/hdd activity.
But the problem of forgotten keystrokes (and randomly repeating
letters[1]) does not need to happen with a hdd access.
1. i *touch* 'i' and suddenly, iiiii appears, or similar. Happens
for all keys rarely but noticably, and probably has something to
do with the random keystrokes being lost.
