That's 32 keystrokes per second, I'm impressed. Unless you're using vim, in which case a minute is a long time to type: `ia <esc>0d$1000p`

No, it’s one keystroke, executed in 1/32 second.

It's probably harder to type a bunch of the same letter than real words unless your whole keyboard types that letter.
