Bug With Performance And Send Keys

OK, I posted about this earlier when I was still trying to figure things out, but now I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.

I have an action that runs every 5 minutes, and each time it runs it presses and repeats a key (alternating between “w” and “s”). The first time, this is accomplished in 1 minute 45 seconds. The second time, it is accomplished in 2 minutes 49 seconds, and the third time it takes 3 minutes and eight seconds. As you can see, it is slowly getting worse.

Why is this a problem? Well, it eventually gets so slow that the actions start overlapping, and the result is a jumble of the two. So far, I have yet to come up with a workaround, but I will post back if I do. I don’t want to use a variable to keep pushing back the time, because it could go on for hours…

Everything is working now (I guess). It will type 5,000 “w”'s, and then 5,000 “s”'s, and so on, but the lag gets outrageous. Is the performance really that bad? Or am I setting something up wrong?
