Mouse lags because commands are too frequent

[danuker]

I find that mouse moves and scrolling is much too fast to be useful. There are too many events per second, even lagging the cursor sometimes (network issues? xdotool execution delay on server?). I do not need that high a temporal resolution.

I believe it is somewhere related to this function:

XMouse/app/src/main/java/com/stripe1/xmouse/MyMouseView.java

Line 337 in 25c17b8

public void OnXMouseMoved(float dx, float dy,boolean scroll) {

I would like OnXMouseMove triggered much less often (such as less than 10x per second).

I believe it is actually based on the minimal movement in pixels on the Android side; so if it would be made configurable and you set it higher, thre would be less traffic.

That could also be useful, but I still think doing this is the way to go:

1. accumulating the dx and dy into their sums,
2. calling OnXMouseMoved regularly with the sums,
3. then resetting the sums to 0

If you implement throttling using minimal movement, a fast-enough mouse move would still clog up the system/network.

I saw this game on Hacker News:

Perhaps it is relevant to XMouse :)
