ah! right. you could get even faster redraws on a mp system when
another idle processor is available. it might not just wait for the
hz timer tick but schedule the woken up mouseproc as soon as it
appears in its run queue no?

in the text scroll case, you'r already drawing to the screen at
a high rate. why should we draw the cursor at a lower rate other
than getting a more regular flicker pattern?
