Are you sure about this?
I have just this setup, switching mouse, keyboard and monitor by turning a single mechanical switch, and one of the machines switched between is running Win95. I've never seen any slowdown of the repeat rate following switching.

Seamless for that particular machine, or for all machines?
Personally, if I switch between different computers running different operating systems, I tend to expect them to do things slightly differently.

Can't help with that, sorry.
