As a workaround you may just set the rate again with the command:
  gconftool-2 -s -t int /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/rate <RATE>
To get the current <RATE> you can do:
  gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/rate

Each time your keyboard is slow again, you can invoke the first command in a Terminal. Or you can add it as user-defined applet to your gnome panel. Or you can add it in "gnome-volume-properties" as an action to be taken whenever a keyboard is (re-)detected - this is fully automatic then and works best for me. "gnome-volume-properties" can be found in gnome menu "System - Preferences". If not, you may have to install "gnome-volume-manager" first.
