good question. In real world, sending a MIDI-event takes time. and sending two events takes (about) double time.
using usb keyboard that your system see as a midi device, you are no more limited to this 32KBit serial line. so, even if messages are send one after the other, they are send at usb speed...

so if you manage to press to keys on your MIDI keyboard at *exactly the same time*, the note-in messages will still be sent one after the other and you get a slight arpeggio. (not very prominent with two keys; but a known problem if you want to play e.g. clusters)
