How are mice hypothetical?  You lose nothing by compressing your data
stream into "and I saw the same thing for N intervals until I saw
this".  You *do* avoid context switches and kernel/userspace copying,
which are relatively expensive operations.  Remember: every electron
has to get pushed around by your battery.
