Maybe you cannot click fast enough with the mouse? 

Learn how to do it from watching the legendary Takahashi Meijin:

Anyway mouse clicks don't autorepeat generally, most keyboard keys do.
I get these results with "auto repeat delay:  250  repeat rate: 25"
using above patch but instead of a [bng] I used the first outlet of
[keyname] so I get to measure keyup and keydown events as read by Pd: 

print: 249.615
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 40.6349
print: 0
print: 34.8299
print: 1.45125
print: 39.1837

According to the xset-manual: "rate is the number of repeats per
second", so 25 is a value in Hz. 25 Hz correspond to a period of
40msec, so the values I get are more or less correct taken  the
message quantization Pd does into account.

The initial delay of 249.615 also is fine.
