Is this in "emacs -Q"? If not, you probably have too much stuff on the post-command-hook, or something else keeping Emacs busy. Take a hard look at your customizations and find the one(s) that make Emacs so slow to respond. Or maybe you are trying this in some major mode that reacts poorly to such insertions? FWIW, I have auto-repeat at 25 cps, and Emacs doesn't have any problems keeping up.
