I don't know that I would classify this as a bug. In OS X, Apple has the Key Repeat Rate
setting in the Keyboard
preference pane which is a similar idea. Apple currently provides no way to adjust the speed at which key press (more correctly, release) events are registered globally in iOS.
The ability to type over 70 wpm on the portrait iPhone keyboard is something most of us are unable to achieve, so it's unlikely it would be addressed by Apple.
Let me start by saying that there are lots of good third party apps for automatically logging in to web forms. I highly recommend using one of those.
To answer your question: Yes, you can do this with a combination of Automator and AppleScript. Here's how.
Open Automator. Go to File-> New. Select Service
.
Type applescript
into the search bar near the top left.
Drag the Run AppleScript
item to the area on the right.
Replace the purple code that starts in the box with this:
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "username"
keystroke tab
keystroke "password"
end tell
Now replace the username
text with your username, and replace the password
text with your password.
This will have the computer type your username, hit tab, and type your password.
Now, at the top of the Automator window, set Service receives
to no input
and in
to the app you need this to happen in.
Automator shoud now look like this:
Save this and give it a name. Now, go to the app you selected at the top right and put your cursor in the username field.
Go to the app's menu (next to the Apple menu) and choose Services-> {what you named your Automator app}.
It should run the Automator workflow and 'play back' the keystrokes.
Again, this is the hard, insecure way. I highly recommend apps like 1Password and LastPass.

Have you tried setting the Key Repeat Rate in system preferences to Slow? This may help with your problem.
