The Logitech Trackball (Marble) is really not very fast under X.
But I think it has nothing to do with the PS/2 port.
You can chaneg the mouse-speed and many other things with the xset program.
Take a look at man xset, parameter "m".
For the first step you can try "xset m 5" or "xset m 6".
This should fast enough.
You can find xset in the xbase Package, so you should have it.
------------------------------ man xset -------------
m The m option controls the mouse parameters. The
parameters for the mouse are `acceleration' and
`threshold'. The acceleration can be specified as
an integer, or as a simple fraction.

You don't need it, see above.

A good idea.
Hope it helps.
