This isn't going to work. Your client gets the notification
of the event some time after it happened. If you try to push it
a bit beyond where it is to simulate acceleration you'll usually
end up pushing it backwards. Most of the time (probably nearly
all of the time) more events would have been generated by the
time the server even got the request from your client and the
cursor would have already moved way beyond that point. I don't
see how this sort of thing can be made to work.
