The code for the Mario demo has a signal every 1/25th of a second due to the (fps 25) function call in it.
I'm not entirely sure why its updating more on keyboard, I just started using Elm but it could be related to the demo combining fps and key events into a single pipe and reacting on it. So by hitting keys you may be emitting extra events it needs to react to.
