After I posted, I rewrote things to use mouseEnter instead and it was
not only better behaved, but faster. So, you're right. That was the way
to go. All those "mouseMove" messages were getting in the way of smooth
operation. I am about to experiment with "grab" next, because while the
user is dragging the object, no other messages need to be sent anyway.
So I may as well use "grab", which would probably solve all the problems.

I did that before I posted, but got no hits. Is there a backward limit
on the number of posts available for searching? I haven't had much luck
finding older messages in the archives.
