Just the continuous mouse activity causes a stream of keyboard input, at seemingly the normal autorepeat rate. I can keep them coming for 30 seconds, just by moving the mouse. In practice, it's irritating because it's quite easy to get a stream of erroneous input dumped into the wrong windows. It's a vanilla dual pentium with an AT keyboard and a PS/2 mouse.
