Mouse is a Drag

[Jetheat]

When using my iMac, all of a sudden, my Wireless Mighty Mouse suddenly slows down.

So if I move my mouse across the screen, it lags behind and appears a little jerky/erratic.

It seems as if there is something hogging the system resources and that is slowing down the movements of the mouse.

Any ideas what this could be?

I'm guessing a dying battery. I've had all sorts of wireless mice get jittery if their battery is depleted to even the 50-60% range; they are battery hogs. That or the laser/reflector/sensor thing is dirty.

Na, I recharged my batteries and changed them and I also cleaned the sensor but its still the same.

Any more ideas?

Check Activity Monitor for any stalled/hanging processes?

I did but nothing seems to be out of the norm except the kernal entry which I can't stop.
