subject: Re: Slow mouse in XP

From: Gary Britt 

I am used to using a mouse set so fast that most people find it unusable.
So the slow down in mouse acceleration in XP was quite apparent to me.  Its
a slow down that is built-in to how the XP drivers compute and use mouse
acceleration (not talking about a slow down due to interrupts being busy
with other things that's different).  I suspect the slow keyboard repeat
rate in XP compared to Win2K is also a driver setting.  I set the Keyboard
repeat rate to its max in XP and its still not quite fast enough.  In Win2K
the same keyboard on slower motherboard and I set the keyboard repeat rate
to less than maximum and that setting is faster than XP's max setting.
