It's not really up to the component developer to decide what may or may not be done with any control. Of course there are limits to this, but I would expect that with any visual component a roll over event is a reasonable thing to expect. Swing (MouseMoveListener), Cocoa (tracking rects), and

You could figure out how it's implemented by doing some experiments. Dynamic hash maps have constant insertion (amortized) and lookup time. If the map is implemented using a B-Tree, then you'll see O(log(n)) times (so just see if the more properties you add increase the amount of time it takes
