True. I'm optimizing my games always for the slowest supported architecture, so I didn't think it was worth it. Especially when key presses are rather rare within the game (usually just ESC to quit it).
Interestingly, the "interior handshake" seems to be the prefered method by OS drivers. AmigaOS keyboard.device and NetBSD /dev/kbd do it the same.

And the request for a Disable() when you've to read a key is a bit to much, I prefer a semaphore

This was rather a note to myself than a request. My games usually runs in a VERTB-routine, so I am always safe to call getkey.
