I find this to be a problem too. It seems like the motion events arive in
clumps. It gives an unsteady feel as if the mouse and graphic are not
connected.
Comparing the same application written using Motif and Starbase the
difference is quite noticeable.
I have not solved the problem; I've learned to live with it. On a fast
workstation it's not so bad.

Maybe - to me it seems more like delay variation.
