Okay, so I've discovered that on my laptop the in-built keyboard and the USB keyboard are behaving differently. Initially they both had the small delay problem. The xset command affects them both in the same way as the keyboard options dialog (i.e. only slightly and with the delay too small). However, the kbdrate command successfully increases the delay on the laptop keyboard but does not affect my USB keyboard.
Furthermore, if I do: "kbdrate -r 2 -d 500" then the laptop keyboard behaves as expected and has a very slow repeat rate. But if I do "kbdrate -r 2 -d 1000" and hold down a key I get a fast repeat for a second or so and then it becomes as slow as it should be. Again, kbdrate does not affect my USB keyboard.
I hope these observations help someone find the root of the problem.
