Poor client/server synch... and depends on the vac in question.
For client-side ones, it's possible for them to vac the entire map regardless who else is around, or to act the same as server-side.
For server-side ones (that actually move the monsters) it can only move the ones the server has assigned to them, which in general is about 1/n of the spawn, for the number of people in the map. Assignment changes when you KB monsters, too, so it is possible to have control of every monster in the map if you've hit them and not killed them yet.
It's only possible at all because they reduce server load by letting the clients handle monster movement. Each player controls a few, and the location updates are synched every 1/2 second or so.
Keyboard repeat behaviour is an interesting way to look at it... if I hit 2+ keys at the exact same instant, it'll repeat all of them. If I miss, it only repeats the last to be hit (even though the others are also held down). Eg. ueoueoueoueoueoueoueoueo = u, e, o held down. oeuuuuuuuuu = o, e, u hit in that order and held down. In testing I've found I can get up to about 5 letters going at once..
