Well, basically it does but what worries me is the delay.
The low level option generates huge amounts of mouse move messages
at the callback. It seems that the high level option doesn't do
that or handles it better.

I normally can smoothly move the mouse pointer during the gui startup.
With this code included mouse movement stutters. There's also some
delay when I exit the gui.
But when I look at the Windows task manager, the CPU usage looks
normal or is at least not extremely high.
