Yes, this is because the key repeat for the delete button is
handled slightly differently than the other key repeats, and
results in the first few steps of the busy indicator and the
first step of the cursor to be redrawn at every key repeat
(instead of cleared). And THIS is due to what the delete
subroutine must actually perform when it is run.
