Comment 42 for bug 917210

thom: The issue with mouse events vastly outnumbering the video framerate is something we're aware of and are experimenting with a few different solutions. But it's not related to this bug directly.
  Regarding your 60 wakeups per second, could you please run "ccsm" and in "Mouse position polling" raise the polling interval to its maximum value? Does that help?
