Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. This is my first topic posted here at Deskthority -- and I appreciate it. Update: Yup, it's the system -- not the hardware.

I am surprised that someone who is a dedicated Model M nut has not developed a specialized driver for this particular ...

OK ... I'm back. I've logged via Safe Mode with Networking ... and the speed of this keyboard is phenomenal. So, it isn't the keyboard, per se ... it's the system . In Safe Mode, the Model M is definitely "faster" than I can type.
