Continually polling the mouse location in a repeat loop uses up a lot of system resources. In MacOS (before OS X) it wasn't as big a deal because the Mac didn't really multitask and so you weren't holding up any other apps very much by hogging the event queue with a long repeat loop. But on all other OSs, tying up the event queue with non-stop polling can cause problems with other background tasks. The more efficient (and Raney-approved) method is to use built-in Rev messages to do the polling for you.
I explain it more here:

Jacque,
Is there a way to simulate:
Repeat until the mouseClick
without monopolizing the CPU?
This repeat loop is useful when you want the user to be able to click the mouse to stop or interrupt screen activity.
