Hi, I always thought the mouse behaved a little weird in "Linux". When I would drag-and-sweep select something with the mouse very quickly I would often end up with a selection that was smaller than I intended. Clearly there was some kind latency problem because X.org didn't get the mouse down event until I had already moved the mouse cursor quit a bit. I assume(d) that this was one of many unpolished things that would eventually be corrected.
Earlier this week a more experienced Linux user showed me a way to fix this problem. Apparently, if I edit my xorg.conf file and switch the mouse input driver to "evdev" the mouse becomes extremely snappy and high precision. When I select stuff, exactly what I intended is selected. I love it! This little revelation made me realize that there is probably many people out there who are using Ubuntu with this kind of, not that severe, but still annoying mouse latency problems. Fixing this might be as simple as switching to "evdev" by default in Ubuntu (even though I admit that I have no idea about the actual difference in scope/purpose of the standard input driver versus the evdev driver).
