InputComponent.BindAction() InputEvent.Repeat delayed

The following results in the debug message being displayed as soon as the key is pressed:

public static class ObjectOrientedDesign
{
    private static Player _player;
    public static void OnBeginPlay()
    {
        Debug.AddOnScreenMessage(-1, 3.0f, Color.LightGreen, MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType + " system started!");

        Engine.AddActionMapping("TestInput", Keys.W);
        _player = new Player(nameof(Player));
    }

    public static void OnEndPlay() => Debug.ClearOnScreenMessages();
}

public class Player : Actor
{
    public Player(string name = null) : base(name)
    {
        Debug.AddOnScreenMessage(-1, 3.0f, Color.Orange, name);
        SetEnableInput(World.GetFirstPlayerController(), true);
        InputComponent.BindAction("TestInput", InputEvent.Pressed, TestInput);
    }

    public static void TestInput() => Debug.AddOnScreenMessage(-1, 0.1f, Color.Aqua, $"Input {World.RealTime}");
}

Changing InputEvent type to Repeat results in a noticeable delay of around 1-1.5 secs

public Player(string name = null) : base(name)
{
    Debug.AddOnScreenMessage(-1, 3.0f, Color.Orange, name);
    SetEnableInput(World.GetFirstPlayerController(), true);
    InputComponent.BindAction("TestInput", InputEvent.Repeat, TestInput);
}

Should the input system be taking this long to trigger the event?

I have submitted a bug report with proposed improvements. To me it would make a lot of sense as it would allow a character to be controlled by input events without ticking while preserving compatibility

Also just looking through some of the Framework methods, would be nice if for anything that just takes a ref to return to as a void we could have a corresponding non void convenience method like so:

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current size of the viewport and returns to a reference
/// </summary>
public static void GetViewportSize(ref Vector2 value) => getViewportSize(ref value);

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current size of the viewport
/// </summary>
public static Vector2 GetViewportSize()
{
    Vector2 value = default;
    getViewportSize(ref value);
    return value;
}

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current resolution of the screen and returns to a reference
/// </summary>
public static void GetScreenResolution(ref Vector2 value) => getScreenResolution(ref value);

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current resolution of the screen
/// </summary>
public static Vector2 GetScreenResolution()
{
    Vector2 value = default;
    getScreenResolution(ref value);
    return value;
}

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current location of the <a href="https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/LevelStreaming/WorldBrowser/index.html">world origin</a> to a reference
/// </summary>
public static void GetWorldOrigin(ref Vector3 value) => getWorldOrigin(ref value);

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current location of the <a href="https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/LevelStreaming/WorldBrowser/index.html">world origin</a>
/// </summary>
public static Vector3 GetWorldOrigin()
{
    Vector3 value = default;
    getWorldOrigin(ref value);
    return value;
}
