What does your lircrc file look like?  Each entry should have a
"repeat" setting.  For example:

begin
prog = mythtv
button = down_arrow
repeat = 3
config = Down
end

Virtually all of my stanzas in my lircrc file have "repeat = 3".
Check what your's are.  If they are not 3, make them 3 and see if that
works.  If they are 3, or if that fix does not work, at least you
eliminated this as a potential issue.
