Since when is mouse movement a stop-the-world event on Linux?
It's a hardware interrupt. They all work that way. You have
to give a lot of care to handling them very quickly and
not letting them stack up (lest the whole system freeze).
Sure, but I've never seen a problem with that.

A GC world stop is much more severe than a simple interrupt... This
comparison is completely insane.
