This is the case when processing the scroll-up-command takes less time
than the repeat rate.

If processing a single scroll-up-command takes less time than the repeat
rate, the input queue should never have many unprocessed PageDown events
(that's the whole reason why we check the input queue before entering
redisplay).

So I still don't understand why we see this long delay when releasing
the key.
