Here is a small patch that works for me for fixing the "lagging mouse events".
I am simply delaying the mouseover display for about .1s so the mouse events have more time to catch up.
I try to cleanup the timeout I am using in various cases as well.

Not sure if its a great fix, but it does seem to work perfectly for me.

Cheers,
Mike
