Any application?

This is odd, I have reduced the key repeat delay to the minimum (usable) and
increased the repeat rate to the maximum, while stressing the CPU, i/o and
malloc ("stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2" on a 10 years old intel core2 duo), load
avg peaks at more than 30, the mouse becomes very jerky and yet I am still able
to type within gedit, firefox, etc.

But of course, keys being repeated can happen, as it depends on the delay set
by the user.

What gives:

 $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard repeat-interval
 $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard delay

On your setup?
