If the script's window is 'active' it will trap all keyboard input. Every 50 milliseconds it will do three things: Check the socket port for a connection. Release request Poser to process any pending Poser events. Make the script's window to the top possibly making it 'active'. You can stop if from trapping keyboard input if you 'minimize' it to the task bar. This is the way I typically run it and that seemed to fix the KB function delay you alerted me to. Here's another thing that I need to put into the usage notes. Don't start (initialize) the server daemon script while another python script is running. You can run other python scripts after the server daemon is running. Here is some questions/debug tests you might try. Do you experience the KB problem while running other python scripts (without the server daemon running)? Do you experience the KB problem if the server daemon is running 'minimized' on the task bar? Is this problem more acute when you have the autoconform.py script running (while the server daemon is running)? btw. I have never experienced a problem deleting items. I almost always am running in Fast Tracking mode. I'll test the other modes.
