Yes, we are running X11R3 on sun 386i and this is definitely a problem 
we have seen.

The problem is the default setting for AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE in 
server/ddx/sun/sun.h.  AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE controls how long you
must hold down a key before autorepeat kicks in.  Right off the
tape, AUTOREPEAT_INITIATE is set to 200 (milliseconds), but we
determined 300 to be a more optimal number.
