Gremlin's update rate is set at 50ms which is quite high.
I once set it to 100 the plot was only a little more jerky.

One comment I'll add is the gremlin back-plot display seems to interact
with the X-Server and add significant lag to keyboard jogging (at
least the way it's setup by default).

gaxis should be the least intensive particularly if you remove the live plot.

Mark,
The MachineKit build does support USB keyboards with integrated
Touchpad and Trackpoint so you don't need a separate mouse or surface to
use mouse navigation.
I use a Lenovo keyboard with Trackpoint. The keyboard also has a
