How old are you John?
I'm now at work, and have tried this on a number of different computers, with wildly varying results: a wireless mouse or keyboard will not give better than 1 second, whilst a "cable" mouse or keyboard give a reasonably consistent 0.23 seconds. Maybe this is a factor that hasn't been allowed for in the project?

And I'm 57 physical age: no comment on mental age, please .
