I admit I've also noticed Atari800 seems to lose
keypresses when I type at my regular speed, e.g.
just now in BASIC what I typed came out as:

  10 PRNT "HELO THERE"

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.4 with Atari800 5.0.0 (installed
from Ubuntu repositories) on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s laptop
which `cat /proc/cpuinfo` shows ""

I've attached my current config file (~/.atari800.cfg),
in case any of the options I have set are useful.

How can I help debug?  I haven't installed Atari800 from
source in ages, but I'm happy to pull from the Git repo
and build it if that could help.
