I did mention this possibility earlier when I wrote:

There are a few reasons why this has not been done yet:

1. I was trying to keep the API as simple as possible.

2. I do not know how to do it, yet.

3. I have been more focused on the client side, than the server side.

Having said that I did implement a quick circular buffer so the
messages are not lost. I am hopeful that Jake can tell me whether this
appears to be an improvement are not with his slow connection to my
server.

I do not think it will miss events anymore, but it still feels a
little mushy to me somehow, like it is getting too many mouse movement
data points, if that makes sense.
