By default there is no delay before going into key-repeat mode. So as soon as you press a button you get a stream of 'up-up-up-up-up...' or whatever. This just introduces a delay between the 1st press, and going into key-repeat so that it is possible to get a single 'up'. Without it, it you need to be very fast to send a single press.
