Experiencing lag using three finger drag with Apple Magic Trackpad

[Prez Cannady]

Not sure if this should go here or in Xorg.conf, but seeing as I don't have xorg.conf configured anywhere, I'll try here first.

Issue

When attempting to drag a window, there is a noticeable lag between executing the three finger gesture and the cursor taking hold of the window. Similarly, there is a lag between ending the gesture and the cursor releasing the window. There is no lag in dragging or releasing with a standard mouse.

I'd say this issue is either with MacOS itself or with the Mac version of VirtualBox. I doubt the guest OS has anything to do with it. A guest VM only 'sees' a standard PS/2 or USB mouse.
