periodic mouse freezes/jumps on Hoary

[David Feldman]

It looks like the culprit was powernowd. Killing that process 
eliminates the mouse freezing. I don't know much about what powernowd 
does, though: Can I eliminate it safely, is there an alternative, or is 
there any option I can run it with that will prevent it freezing the 
mouse?

Thanks,
