I traced the problem to the XSync call in meta_error_trap_pop.

A XSync typically takes between 0 to 15ms.

For example, XSync is called 3 times for grabbing a single key.
Each call takes 15ms and there are 11 keys to grabs:

  3*15*11 = 495ms

So 1/2 second is used just for grabbing the keys.

I know that our network is very fast so unless there is a
issue with my Exceed configuration, I would expect to see
the same kind of behavior (or worse) on all remote displays.
