Introduce randommess in keypress timings

We may first want to understand the minimum resolution that timing
requires. Keypress events can be randomized within this interval.

Another track:
170WPM ~= 42000 KPH ~= 11 KPS

So, maybe we have 90ms delay on average between keystrokes for a speed
typist.

I didn't realize you could use keystroke analysis to identify one person
out of a pool of millions, rather, that a certain keystroke pattern matches
as best a certain subset of users but it wouldn't be valuable/practical for
positive identification. Text analysis is probably a way more useful signal.

In for more details,
