This might be another one of those new user questions that has a simple answer, alas I can't find it.

Turbo Mono, NS 3.3, non-ADB, the mouse movement is very sluggish when moving the mouse slowly. When set to fastest speed in Preferences.app it works ok with fast movements. Is there a way to change when mouse acceleration kicks in, or just turn off the acceleration and use faster speed? Thanks!

I've always felt this was part of the NeXT experience, having to push the mouse pointer around like it's a curling stone  :)
