Macro activation slow on PC Client

[Kraggy]

Been that way since I first started in 2005 and I expect has always been like that. Damned annoying, clearly crappy software design which slaves keyboard response to some internal processing. The fact that the response ranges from instant to a couple of seconds (and all times in between) seems to me to demonstrate that reaction to the need to display the macro palette is being blocked by other rendering operations.

Got any idea if that processing is the reason why I've been experiencing FFXI hogging the keyboard when multi-tasking?

I made a thread about it awhile ago, no word at all from a rep - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...keyboard-input
