I been looking into replacing the mouse timers in multiwindow mode. One interesting quick-fix, to improve out-of xwindow mouse responsiveness & to reduce 'transition pointer artefacts' on leaving xwindows, is to reduce the value of MOUSE_POLLING_INTERVAL from 500 to 10ms! Tried this with load of xterms and xeyes open and it works for me (XP on a 500MHz Pentium III).
That's something I tweaked too, but it didn't really seem to do much for me, probably since most of my jobs were remote (WM_TIMER is only given if there's nothing else for Windoze to do IIRC).
Are you looking at the hook DLL? I've been swamped with other things so haven't done more than look at the sample code Harold did for that Morse beeper.
One other minor thing I think might be simple to do is replace the SW diX cursor with the standard Windoze cursor: All the Xbitmap->WinIcon code can be used almost directly, and this'll reduce CPU load when moving the mouse over an active window.
