I had this problem a while back; in my case caused by the mouse cable
(like stereo headphones, the wire gets flexed quite a bit, and has a
tendency to fail near the cable ends). 

If you have an Apple monitor and use the pass-through ADB ports, try
connecting the keyboard/mouse directly to the Mac.

There is a control strip module called 'jolt mouse' or something like
(try doing a search at www.download.com) that which will re-enable
normal mouse speed without having to restart your Mac.

You'll probably find that the problem will get worse over time, so a new
mouse will probably be required.
