I use the Golden Image mouse too, but GEM doesn't actually respond any
faster. What your friend may have been describing is the increased
throughput gained by having a mouse which you only move half the
distance (physically) to go the whole distance (on the screen). Also
microswitched buttons make a great difference to the usability of the
GEM system.

It's just a pity that the ST doesn't sample the mouse fast enough to
use it at full pelt.
