Is there a time delay between touch triggers with multitouch?

I enabled multi touch and can now walk and jump at the same time however this has proved a bit problematic. If I jump while walking, my character jumps but if I try to jump again then I wont actually jump, however if I wait a second between touches then my character jumps just fine.

Have any of you dealt with this before?

No.  Touch responses should fire nearly immediately. Better double check your logic.
