Terrible Mouse Lag on Menus!

[AstralWanderer]

I'm seeing sluggish pointer performance generally, and this is most noticeable with ship design - my graphics setup is at the other spectrum performance-wise (GeForce2Go/1Ghz PIII) but SEV's graphics look simpler than those of, say, Haegemonia or HomeWorld 2 and these run reasonably well.

Does SEV use a hardware cursor? If not, then maybe this is the problem - it is the most irritating issue that I have encountered with SEV so far, so a fix would be nice.
