Plain mouse actions (movement, auto-focus) and full window movements seem to be as quick as ever. The problem comes when I click-and-drag on the title bar to begin moving a window. Although the window comes into (auto)focus immediately, it doesn't follow the drag. As I drag with the mouse button held down, the window unfocuses. It's as if I'd never clicked on it. The same with resizing a window. I have to hold the mouse button down without moving for a second before I begin dragging. I used xpaint to check mouse behaviour. Yep, the mouse click is not slow, it's the drag. With the ray tool (click at each end of a line) you can work very rapidly, but the paintbrush and pencil don't draw at all unless you lean on the button for a second at the beginning of each stroke. What I'd like to know is what is likely to be responsible for this annoying difference. Is it some kind of resource usage problem, a window manager default configuration that I haven't been able to find yet, a characteristic of the window manager, a problem with moused, or something else?
