Because of a change in the kernel this was quite normal with the 2.6.x 
kernels. Personally I reduce the speed with boot parameters. Into lilo I have 
append="psmouse_rate=60 psmouse_resolution=200"

This was recommended when the 2.6 kernels where released. Actually I don't 
know if it is still neccesary.
