different mouse would affect things, tho. Isn't a USB mouse a USB mouse,
regardless if it's an actual mouse or trackball (which is, essentially,
nothing more than an upside-down mouse)?
It can be quite a big difference. Not every mouse has the same resolution
for example, many vendors also simply do things a bit differently. How
often a report to process is sent can also be quite different from model
to model and vendor to vendor. So a USB mouse is far from a USB mouse.
They use the same interface so that they can be supported by the same
unified driver, but how they use the freedom the HID protocol allows for
is entirely up to the implementor (if you generate 10 reports with 1px
move at a time or if you generate a single report with a 10px move may
generate the same effect on-screen, but the processing overhead is
obviously different).
Overall the HID driver has been reworked a few times, I don't really
remember the timeframe though. It's easily possible that the new framework
is more resource hungry with that specific device you have. On the other
hand the framework is far more flexible and able to support many more
devices now, so...
To identify the issue at hand you could attach the hid reports that are
dumped to /tmp so the polling frequency can be checked for example.
