Is it just me or KOReader has much slower keyboard than kindle "default gui"?
Like when I'm typing "test" in my usual typing speed in input field I see only "t". It sometimes can swallow parts of words because I type a word faster than letters are adding to the input field, like 500ms between each added letter. Very confusing.

And in "default kindle gui" I can type with no problem as fast as I want, everything works like a charm. Is it just me? Trying to figure out if it's worth a shot to backup KOReader, reset kindle and redo JB, or it's just the way it is and nothing can be done?

I'm in total love with KOReader and prefer it to all other "reading apps" on iOS\Android I tried before. But this inability to type notes in adequate speed is on edge of being deal breaker because finally I have perfect device for fast touch type that allows me to add meaningful notes during reading.

Or maybe there some "optimization" somewhere in config files that can be done to speed up processing of the input from keyboard?
