Agree. Is it possible to skip multiple consecutive mouse move events?
I suggest to redraw at highest speed while avoiding processing of old
mouse move events. This may happen on a very slow or overloaded
machine (when you see the effects of your mouse movements some seconds
later and the mouse still follows the path). I hope you understand
what I mean :)
