My solution to this problem is simply to use PointingDevice or Mouse2
to dramatically increase the speed of the mouse.  If I have to cross
my 2-page monitor, no big deal; since my mouse moves fast enough, I
can do it without lifting the mouse once.  Perhaps I have a finer 
touch than most people, but I don't think so; I don't mind having an
extremely sensitive mouse.

To me, this discussion seems pointless; Apple's guidelines work just
fine.  An INIT or CDEV can be used to increase the mouse speed for
those few of us that desire it--I'm not sure Apple should allow an
option "Blinding Mouse Speed" in the Control Panel--and I'm perfectly
happy.
