Epoch: How do I stop it postponing repeated keys ?

    I've recently increased the key repeat speed I'm using
for my Sun, and I've been having problems with the effects of
repeated keys (such as up-arrow) not being visible until
after the key is released.  I think this is because Epoch tries
to process all the events it has received before updating the
buffer (or cursor position), but processing the key takes longer
than the repeat period.

    For text keys this is not a very great problem, but it is
a pain when you cannot see where the cursor is going when using the
cursor keys.

    Is there some way to tell Epoch to process particular events
instantly, rather than waiting for all pending events to be processed ?
Is there some other solution to this problem ?

I'm using Epoch 3.2.1 on a Sun 4 IPC with OS 4.1 under tvtwm.

Thanks!
