I had the same problem, the solution was to 'cap' the evnts..
blah.ondragmove=function(evnt){
var obj=evnt.getTarget();
if (!obj.dragging){
obj.dragging=true;
// ..
// do your drag animation hear..
// ..
}
}
What this will do is ensure that the eventlistener doesn't try to
react to more ondragmove events than the client machine can handle.
So instead of your object being redrawn every time your mousepointer
passes a pixel, it will be redrawn every 5 pixels
(an average on slower machines, could be any number)
This in my experience drasticly improved the 'smoothness' of my
dragg animation
