Mark correctly identified the problem with the joystick port 1 / keyboard as
the CIA.  However, there is a side affect which you might not have noticed yet.
Try Port 1, fire button not pressed, in the West direction.  What's that you
say???  The machine slowed down???  You have just discovered the reason all of
those games you buy are written for port 2.  It seems that that particular set
of combinations maps to the CTRL key on the keyboard.  And we all know what
that key does, don't we?
