You take Amiga mouse, it runs smooth, you take Apple mouse it runs smooth, you take PS/2 mouse (even under Windows) and it runs smoothly too. You take the serial one under Windows and it's all jerky. Not like completely jerky but far from having smooth movements. Originally I thought it was due to slow transmission speed but now I am not sure anymore.

As far as I know, the serial mice used 1200 Bps, always struck me as a 
bit slow.
