How does MiNT handle the keyboard? It should be possible to build the
kernel so that it reacts to keyboard interrupts quickly? I would've
imagined this is the way MiNT handles it but I'm not too familiar with
MiNT internals. Of course this doesn't help with the I/O heavy stuff I
guess, but with the CPU-intensive tasks it would.
