That's true : when you draw in Gimp in a Windows Seven (64 bits) guest, 
you have absolutely no delay, at any speed.

Soren has recently improved a lot the qxl driver for Linux, but if you 
accelerate the mouvement of your mouse, the drawing can't still follow 
your mouse in Gimp.

I don't know why different functions have been choosen into the qxl 
drivers for Windows and Linux, but it could be interesting to benefit 
from the best of these different versions.
