So we are now testing with  xset m 7/4 0 vs xset m 165/100 0

I don't see a significant, measurable difference between the two. Been
drawing spirals and playing with etoys (btw, I love etoys more and
more)...

I agree it is orthogonal. I am saying 802B1 ship with the new tp code
(which does seem a good improvement), but keeps xset m settings.

If a particular deployment or usergroup is in humid places, we can ask
them to try various xset settings. Lot easier than fiddling with
kernels.
