I have spent a lot of time to make the move/resize code work as smooth as possible. With too much stuff going on over the network this becomes jerky. A single call causing network traffic does not slow things down much, but it accumulates with other calls. Fvwm once became so slow that moving was very jerky, even with the X server on the local machine. Since then I allways look at new code in the move/resize loops twice. Anyway, yesterday's commit drastically reduces the number of XQueryPointer calls. It allows to pass in an event that may hold the last pointer position. The position is taken from the event if possible and only queried if the event does not have this information.
