Brad,
I think the 0x20 (32ms) value might be fine for something like VNC
display, but on a local display the mouse response is noticeably slow
(for me at least.) I tried using 0x0a (10), same as the plain USB
mouse, but the idle CPU utilization was still around 10%. What is
really odd is that this was not a problem in older versions of QEMU,
unless I'm reading data incorrectly. Do you know what else might have
changed? I will look as well and see if I can apply some logic to this.
I suspect it's probably something with the new clock mechanism, but it
still doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
