Part of the problem IMHO is the "double click' where you click 100% more times 
than you need to click.

than you need to click. 

A single click reduces clicking effort by half. The act of clicking involves 
the use of the "Lumbrical muscles" which nobody is likely to have heard of. 
The Lumbricals are a delicate set of muscles that ensure that your fingers 
bend only where they are attached to your hand (the metacarpo-phalangeal 
joint) while they do not bend the joints between the bones of each finger 
(the interphalangeal joints)

These muscles were never meant to beused for rapid double clicking.

My personal solution?

Use Linux (or single click).
Use the left hand in which you left click using your left middle finger which 
is longer than your index
Use an optical mouse
Use a mouse pad with a cushion for the wrist
