For what it's worth, I'm running Word 2003 and 2007 side by side, and I don't see any difference in speed of keyboard response when typing, or when typing shortcuts.
This is a medium speed Core2Duo with 4 GB of ram (but since I'm using 32-bit Vista, only about 3.2GB of my ram is actually being used).
I also have a notebook that runs Windows XP. It's a slower computer, and has just 1GB of RAM. But, I don't see any keyboard speed differences between Word 2003 and 2007 on it, either. And, when I'm working in Word, I hardly ever use the mouse, so I would definitely notice.
Note that Word was noticeably slower until I disabled an Adobe Acrobat Add-in. However, the add-in was slowing Word 2003 and 2007 both down.
Just for kicks... try starting Word up in Safe mode (hold down Ctrl as Word is starting, and say Yes to starting in Safe mode). Working in safe mode, is Word 2007 still as slow as it was, or does it respond more quickly? If it responds more quickly, then there's a chance that an add-in is slowing things down.

Hi Shauna,
Thanks for the posting and confirming that this issue is not related to
me... i also noticed what you said regarding the ribbon... Let's hope that
there's an update released soon
cheers

Hi Paul
For what it's worth, I have the same problem. I can type faster than Word
2007 can think. From what I can see, the designers put in a conscious delay
into the way the ribbon works. That is you press Alt, then waaaaaaiiiiit,
and then the letters on the ribbon appear. I assume that the same delay
prevents keyboard shortcuts from working quickly. It's been like that for me
since the first Beta of Office 2007 and I know no way to change it.
