It slows things down because the joystick ports are polled
by the same hardware as the keyboard is.  Some of the joystick
positions map to keys.  The effect of pulling the joystick
in port one all the way to the left is the same as holding
down the CTRL key during a listing.  As far as I remember
they are electricly identical.
