It is unusual for the mouse to be normally over point, do you have
some special code for making the mouse track point (anti-avoid.el)?
I think that would be annoying whether tooltips popped up or not.

But this has been discussed in October 2001, when the default was 5
seconds, and the consensus then was to increase tooltip-hide-delay to
10 seconds. So I don't think we should change it now without carefully
considering the arguments that were made for increasing it in the
first place.
