    Using X11R3 on sun 3's and 4's, I find that the key repeat
    rate is much faster than on the previous version.  Too fast.

Strange.  I'm basically positive we didn't change this between
R2 and R3.

    Is there a way to adjust this rate without just turning off
    key repeating?

No way using the protocol.  It ought to be settable at least
on the Sun server command line, but isn't.  You can go in and
edit server/ddx/sun/sun.h, and change AUTOREPEAT_DELAY.
