The culprit is xkb. If you don't need it (which you probably don't), put
the line in your ServerFlags section:

Option "XkbDisable"

This will correct the problem. I'm not sure how well those xkbset rules
work, but if they are anything like AccessX, when your system is under
very high load you will find your keyboard quite nonfunctional as well as
moderate load forcing you to type very slowly.
