I do see that the one in the link above is a beta 09-22 version and there is a later 9-27 version at http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/ . So that might be worth a try.

Both keyboard shortcuts and typing in command names end up going through the same command launching mechanism so I don't know why one would be slower or faster than the other. Maybe there's some kind of file caching involved and it was more dependent on which one was done first rather than what the launching method was.
