Keypress is very slow in Selenium Webdriver

Question

I have scripted selenium web driver.. It was working fine in IE9. I have upgraded to IE11. The sendkeys command is very in typing characters. It is entering one by one character and it is really slow.. I definitely did not make any change in the script. Only I upgraded the browser.. Is there any reason for this? Can any one know the resolution please let me know

Thanks

I had similar problem with my windows 8, IE11 and webdriver 64bit. I swapped the 64 bit webdriver to the 32bit one and then the tests just went very fast. (fast response from send_keys which used to be 4-5 secs per key...)

Hope this helps.
