I type hard and I type fast. Unfortunately, it seems as though I type TOO fast for OS X, if that's possible. I think - from doing a bit of research - that this is due in part to the Quartz smoothing that is done per pixel, hence there is a 'lag.' Do not tell me there isn't, there is!
I do not have this problem on Thinkpad keyboards.
Also, I think the IBM keyboards have greater bounce/spring to them, and are a bit deeper, hence allowing you to hit them harder.
It sucks, because I LOVE OS X - yes, I have made it crash a few times but it's extremely robust - but I also love to write.
I hated the MB keyboard, too. Wish I had the keyboard of the Thinkpad but Mac OS X...

Have you tried adjusting the keyboard response rate in System Preferences? That might help
.
Otherwise, you may also want to try the MacBook keyboard, see if you prefer that one! I know I do! -
Is there ANY way to speed up the typing? Yes, I've set the repeat and delay rates to be as fast as possible in System Preferences, but it's still not fast enough!

Love the Mac, though. Any software out there to alleviate my problem? -
I think there is a hardware problem with your Mac. I do not experience any delays in my typing, even when I run my finger accross the keyboard. You should take it to an Apple store if the problem is obvious.

mine seems to work, ran my finger across the keys. -
In this case you will have some Kext from your old system doing its job, and producing some delays.
Check all the Kext loaded and the possible process with PPC on it.

I tend to think it may be an issue with your keyboard. I would have it checked. -
I too have not experienced the laggy typing as you suggest. -
Love the new Penryn MBP but ALMOST tempted to give it back :(
