Well, if you mouse that fast then your use-case is similar to the aforementioned twitch-based FPS games.

> There are two parts to moving a cursor to a click target: quickly moving the cursor in the target's general direction, and then slowly moving to its exact position

This is a pretty basic usability issue and one of the reasons we put clickable things on the edge of the screen if we can.

(note that this is a great example of mouse and touch screens having completely different usability requirements)

I'm certainly not a twitchy mouse user, but I see very visible lag when using a mouse at 30fps and it drives me crazy.

Even scrolling text on a terminal becomes and 'issue' at 30fps. It get's 'blurry' is the closest I could say, Again, it drives me crazy.
