Usually, when keyboard buffer is full, pressing any key
would cause speaker beep, not computer freezing. I suspect
that the stock-punching lady is not related to the problem...

Anyways, I don't know how to control the size of keyboard
buffer [16 characters typical], but you can adjust the
key repeat speed and time 'til first repeat, both via
BIOS and/or DOS utility.
