I have seen this symptom before. There is a feature for people with
visual disabilities that causes the system to type very slowly.  For
people who have disabiities, they sometimes get a lot of accidental
repeats with their fingers on the keys for too long.  Once or twice, I
have accidentally turned on the gnome disability supporter and it
produced exactly the effect you describe. If you google for "gnome
sticky slow keys" you will find out about how you might have
accidentally turned it on and how to turn it off.
