If you're used to, say, VS Code or the GitHub online editor where the lag between pressing a key on the keyboard and a corresponding character appearing on the screen can be on the order of tens of thousands of milliseconds, then 100 ms will seem like lightning.

There's a thousand milliseconds in a second. If your VSCode is taking +10 seconds to display a single character, it might be time to upgrade from your Commodore 64.

Well, actually, the Commodore 64 is a lot faster with respect to input latency than any modern machine.
