After playing with this for a while, it feels to me that:
   A) The acceleration isn't noticable with low (normal) speeds
   B) Once you reach a high enough speed, it gets fast too quickly

This sounds like a signature of that polynomial curve to me.  My 
instinct tells me that Windows uses a curve that is accelerated at 
slower speeds, and that doesn't go through the roof at the higher 
speeds.  Would this be a logarithmic acceleration that I desire?
