Do you have the Leximation RestoreWindows plugin? I have the same behavior and traced it to that plugin. Having the Character Designer open slows the cursor. Having the Paragraph Designer open slows it even more. Having both open seems to have an additive effect and slow things even more. The RestoreWindows version I have is 1.01e. If I remember correctly, version 1.0 didn't cause the problem, but it also didn't track as many palettes. Scott at Leximation had created a custom version for me (1.01) that opened the tool palette, the Character Catalog and Paragraph Catalog, the Paragraph Designer, Character Designer, and Table Designer. That version is the one that introduced the slow cursor problem for me. Scott was unable to fix it because he was unable to duplicate the problem on his computer.
