Snap vs. Drag event

[meleyal]

IE has problems with the sample rate using periodical when there are more / complex elements on the page. It seem to be called too slowly, so there is no momentum when you release the mouse, the dragged element simply stops.

Calling the sample() method directly on each drag event works better:

this.addEvent('drag', function(el) {
  this.sample();
});

Is this less efficient?

I've tried this, but the problem is that this doesn't sample when the mouse doesn't move. So if you drag quickly, then stop and then release after some time, the element still shoots off. There is no harm - except a performance hit - in doing both, though.
