No, I have two and two computers with Jaunty installed.  Both were 
working the same sluggish way.  When I used the mice on my Intrepid 
computer the mice worked perfectly.  A friend told me that there was a 
bug in Jaunty Rc that caused the problem and to wait for the solution in 
an update.  Nonetheless, when I had my problems trying to install wine, 
the problem went away.  I have been using my new computer for a couple 
of months now; it has lots of ram and a quad.  But I have never 
experienced the speed and snappy response that I am getting right now.  
It is explosive.  It has been this way now for a couple of hours.  
Things seem to happen just before I press the button. I know that isn't 
happening, but it is so very fast.  I have 8gb of ram.  When the mouse 
problem was happening, I would wait about a second or two for reaction 
to a click.  I just love Jaunty; I can see that it will be incredible 
when the bugs are finally put to bed.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I AM VERY INEXPERIENCED, AND GET ADDITIONAL ADVICE 
WHEN CONSIDERING A CHANGE, NOT YELLING JUST EMPHASIZING MY LACK OF 
EXPERTISE.  I would hate for my great results to affect you into 
changing a business critical computer into the new application prior to 
it's being stable.  Even though it is Rc, it is still with some 
problems, especially with an intel processor.  I use an 9600 Phenom Quad 
Core AMD nVidia chips including video, and 8gb of ram.
