The thing he mentioned was startup time, though, not the actual input lag.

Was responding to the second issue: "The second issue is the inefficiency of entering custom words". On that front Fleksy is the same or faster than the standard iOS keyboard.

I think he's suggesting that for "custom words" flesky autocorrects to the wrong words, whereas the standard keyboard doesn't - thus leading to longer input times under flesky ... at least until it learns those words.

The standard keyboard also autocorrects non-standard words.
