But often I'm too slow to click both buttons at the very same
time. I'm too slow for the default emulation tolerance.

You omit whether you're running (console)vim or gvim and on which OS. On *nix-type environments in gvim or a GUI-terminal, usually X handles the emulation of the middle-mouse button via the simultaneous press of left+right buttons:

http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/mouse.4.html

Particularly the Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout options, which you can set in your (usually) /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I don't know how Vim gets a 3rd-mouse button press on Win32 or on a non-X terminal/console, and whether it's something that the OS handles (in the case of Win32) or the mouse layer--whether gpm (usually on Linux) or wsconsole (I believe that's what's used on OpenBSD, perhaps other BSDs).
