SubjectRe: Minimal jitter = good desktop.
less jitter != less latency

you could (in theory) eliminate jitter by delaying every keypress
processed for exactly 1 second by having the code paths that process
keypresses faster insert delays before implementing the results.

that would result in zero jitter, but horrific latency.

latency is how long it takes to do something, jitter is how much the
latency varies.

normally, if you optimize for one you make the other worse.

If you optimize for latency, you try to finish everything as soon as you
can. Since some things take longer than others, jitter increases.
