INKEY$0 isn't all that slow, I measured it on my PC at just under 400 ns (so you could execute more than 2,500,000 of them in a second!).
If something is slowing "the whole program down to a fraction of what is possible" I don't see how it can be INKEY$(0)! Perhaps you should list the code in question.
