It's not the mouse that hangs. It's the only thing that works, everything else 
hangs when I combine moused/X. This issue doesn't exist on all my systems, 
though. It existed on my old Thinkpad (Pentium-m 1.3 GHz), it exists on my new 
notebook (Core2 Duo with 2.4 GHz), but it doesn't exist on my P4 with 1.6 GHz.

Key entries, animations, they all just pile up somewhere and happen all at 
once when I start using the mouse. To watch a movie I have to keep the mouse 
moving all the time.

It's not a general X and mouse problem, because without moused in between 
everything works fine. I think at some point in time a bug was either 
introduced in moused, or in my opinion more likely, in the sysmouse protocol 
implementation in X.
