Pen Tablet reacts slowly

I'll join this discussion.

Paint has no support for Pen Tablet but we want it. Right now, we taking
care of collaboration and we are a little busy. I don't know what is
necessary to provide Pen Tablet, I confess I haven't studied it that much,
but I thought it would produce a click-like event. So, if there is no click
event, how would I differ pen tablet and the regular touchpad?
