I noticed something similar when I bought this new trackball, which sits on the PS/2 port. The cursor zips across the screen fast enough, but selecting text in an xterm is a whole different story. It used to be that when I clicked/dragged to select text the "reverse" selection followed the cursor perfectly. Now it lags behind the cursor and updates in bursts. Weird, eh?
