In bug 971446, we did a UI hack to improve the perceptible performance of the keyboard when typing quickly. I believe that there is a bottleneck unrelated to overall sluggishness of the keyboard which is causing it to skip showing bubbles and the key highlights. My guess is that it's an IPC issue, but we'll have to dig further to see.

Lets see what Tim thinks.

The spec requires the bubble to show with correct letter case, and we do not know the letter case to output unless the previous key is handled (by IMEngine and the script on the page), so the queue is pretty visible if you type very quickly. This is a long standing issue and we are trying to attack it first at the IPC front (bug 1174624). I would say let's close this bug deal with bugs with more specific detail.
