Does it stay offset even after the user stops going too fast?

Is there an 'else' at the end of this? If not, then there's nothing
handling the condition where the sprite has been dropped outside of the
expected area.

As in: when you first click on the sprite it jumps to the cursor?
to avoid that, record the 'offset' between the mouseloc and the sprite's
loc and add or subtract that from the movement of the sprite relative to
the mouse.

If you don't have other animation or heavy processing going on you could
try this:
<skeletal-psuedo-code>
on mousedown me
record the mouse-sprite offset
do mouseDown activities
repeat while the mousedown
spriteloc = mouseloc +or- mouse-sprite offset
updateStage
end repeat
-- from here on it's essentially a mouseUp handler
do mouseUp activities
end
This works fine so long as you don't mind the world stopping while the
user moves the sprite around.
