I'm running a  high-priority timed entry which updates a view.  I've
also got a keydown handler within the view.  The odd thing I found is that
there is a significant delay between the time I press the key and the time it
is actually registered by the view.

Playing with this some more, I found that if the timed entry specifically
checks the event queue with NXGetOrPeekEvent(), that it works in a more timely
manner. It seems the view doesn't know about key events as often as the
event queue produces them.

Is this normal behavior?
