--- Comment #2 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutte...@who-t.net> ---
Sorry, still closing this as WONTFIX, for a couple of reasons:
* the reason this still isn't better is ETIME on my side (and lack of hardware
that's affected by this). [1]
* Apple gets away with it because it's good enough - and this is the point,
isn't it? We have a lot of device-specific code, there's not point having
config options that everyone has to tweak individually when we can just make it
good enough on whole categories or model series at a time
* "acceleration" has very little meaning - what exact factor do you want to
expose?
* once we expose that factor, we're locked into the *algorithm*, because for
any change now we have to figure out how not to break that configuration
So right now, adding that config option has only downsides for the long-term
maintenance efforts.
[1] I pretty much only hear calls for "give me a config option" (which really
means: "a magic number that works for me on my hardware") , but apparently it's
not bad enough for anyone to spend time investigating the cause and finding a
proper solution. Most of the time when I provide branches to test, I get
crickets and tumbleweeds, so my motivation in general is a tad low to work on
this. And my motivation to expose a config option just to get abused whenever
it changes in the future is zero.
