I find the same problem.  Hitting Esc does NOT abort the CW immediately,
which causes panic in every CW contest.  I'm finally learning that a
single "dit" on the paddles (only if you're using the paddle port) will
abort CW immediately.  It seems that Esc used to work immediately, but 
does not any more.  Is it really a function of log size?  

I have also the same problem. And I found this IS function of log size.
No matter what CPU - 486 or MMX.
