What is claimed is: 1. A medical device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive therapy to a patient, the device comprising a feedback device configured to generate feedback cues to assist the user in timing the delivery of the repetitive therapy; at least one sensor or circuit element configured to detect actual delivery times, at which the user actually delivers the repetitive therapy; and a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to compare the actual delivery times to information representative of desired delivery times to determine cue times at which the feedback cues are generated by the feedback device. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the manually delivered repetitive therapy comprises manually delivered chest compressions as part of cardiac resuscitation. 3. The device of claim 2 wherein the actual delivery times and desired delivery times comprise actual delivery phases and desired delivery phases. 4. The device of claim 2 wherein actual delivery times and desired delivery times are compared by forming differences between actual and desired delivery times. 5. The device of claim 2 wherein the cue times are gradually shifted in time over a plurality of therapy deliveries to gradually shift the actual delivery times. 6. The device of claim 2 wherein the feedback cues are audible or visual. 7. The device of claim 2 wherein the repetitive therapy further comprises ventilation as part of cardiac resuscitation. 8. The device of claim 1 wherein the feedback cues have at least two phases distinguishable by the user, with a first phase corresponding to a first phase of the delivered therapy, and a second phase of the feedback cue corresponding to a second phase of the delivered therapy. 9. The device of claim 8 wherein the repetitive therapy comprises chest compressions for cardiac resuscitation, and the first phase of the feedback cue corresponds to the upstroke of the rescuer's compression movement, and the second phase of feedback cue corresponds to the downstroke of the rescuer's compression movement. 10. The device of claim 9 wherein the feedback cues comprise audible sounds, and the first and second phases differ in one or both of frequency and amplitude. 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the feedback cues comprise an upstroke cue for chest compression, and the upstroke cue varies in frequency, with the frequency increasing as the rescuer's body rises during upstroke prior to delivery of compression. 12. The device of claim 11 wherein the feedback cues further comprise a downstroke cue that varies in frequency, with the frequency varying with time during delivery of compression. 13. The device of claim 12 wherein the downstroke cue is shorter in duration than the upstroke cue. 14. The device of claim 12 wherein the downstroke cue grows in volume, with crescendo at approximately the bottom of the delivered compression. 15. The device of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to determine a latency between cue times and actual delivery times, and to use the latency and the desired delivery times in determining the cue times. 16. The device of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to maintain a similar temporal relationship between cue times and actual delivery times. 17. The device of claim 16 wherein the similar temporal relationship is having the cue times occur prior to the actual delivery times. 18. The device of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to use a tracking filter to predict actual delivery times based on the user's past performance in delivering the repetitive therapy. 19. The device of claim 18 wherein the tracking filter comprises a Kalman filter. 20. The device of claim 18 wherein the processor is configured to compensate for a hysteresis relationship between cue times and actual delivery times. 21. The device of claim 18 wherein the tracking filter is configured to limit the influence of brief departures of actual delivery times from desired delivery times. 22. The device of claim 21 wherein a low pass filter provides the limit on influence of brief departures of delivery times. 23. The device of claim 2 wherein the desired delivery times are selected based on measured physiology of the patient. 24. The device of claim 23 wherein the measured physiology comprises the ECG of the patient. 25. The device of claim 24 wherein the desired delivery times are times other than the T wave in the ECG. 26. The device of claim 23 wherein the measured physiology is PEA of the heart, and the desired delivery times are selected to produce actual chest compression times phased relative to the PEA to improve hemodynamic output. 27. The device of claim 23 wherein the measured physiology is low level mechanical activity of heart, and the desired delivery times are selected to produce actual chest compression times phased relative to the low level mechanical activity to improve hemodynamic output. 28. The device of claim 23 wherein the measured physiology comprises the rhythm state of the heart, and the processor is further configured to vary cue times in accordance with at least some changes in rhythm state. 29. The device of claim 28 wherein the rhythm state is taken into account in deciding whether to phase feedback cues relative to the patient's underlying circulatory activity. 30. The device of claim 23 wherein the measured physiology comprises the times of particular physiological events and the cue times are selected to produce a desired temporal relationship between the times of the physiological events and the actual delivery times. 31. The device of claim 30 wherein the physiological events are mechanical contractions of the heart. 32. The device of claim 2 wherein the desired delivery times are shortly following pacing stimuli delivered to the heart, so that chest compressions occur during periods of improved myocardial tone resulting from the pacing stimuli. 33. A medical device of the type used for assisting a user in manually delivering repetitive therapy to a patient, the device comprising a feedback device configured to generate feedback cues to assist the user in timing the delivery of the repetitive therapy; wherein the repetitive therapy comprises psychomotor activity on the part of the user delivering the therapy; and a processor, memory, and associated circuitry configured to generate feedback cues with at least two phases, a first phase corresponding to a first phase of the psychomotor activity and a second phase corresponding to a second phase of the psychomotor activity. 34.
