Yes, that's about the same length of my pause.

16MB, but the game is designed to run on a card with 4MB, so I
don't think this is the case. Like I said, I think it's
something about the mouse acceleration freaking out when one
"instant" the mouse is here, and the next "instant" (after the
hard drive and CPU have done the data transfer) the mouse is
all the way over there. I don't have the problem when I turn
with the keyboard, but the turn rate doing that is much lower.
The problem is much less pronounced in glide mode.
