What is the program you are trying to use? Have you boosted the emulator speed? 
Both MESS and VCC can be made to run faster than normal depending on your PC speed.

Don't forget that your PC has auto-repeat keys as well. RGBDOS for emulators has 
repeat keys as a feature. You should not have problems unless yous set emulation 
to run faster than normal. OS-9 NitrOS-9 also has repeat keys because it is a 
useful feature.
