It's expected that the tool won't capture all dropped cursor updates - it only
records data for frames where something except the cursor has changed. So if
you move the cursor in a circle and the window below it didn't update, it won't
log anything in that duration.
That should get fixed with some near-ish future changes in KWin, but for now
you could get a more accurate reading by leaving glxgears running on the
screens while doing the testing.

That's an important piece of information... the effect forces a software
cursor. If you set the environment variable KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 for KWin,
does the issue go away permanently?
