Unlag Neo: A "fix" for the cursor lag on Macbook Neo

Macbook Neo (I'm on macOS Tahoe 26.5.1) cursor is lagging when the cursor is near the screen's edges or when it enters a Terminal window. [1][2][3][4][5]

[Click here for more info and background]

Why is it lagging?

I don't know. But at the moment when it lags the system switches from hardware cursor to software cursor (CGCursorIsDrawnInFramebuffer() goes from 0 to 1) so maybe that transition is stalled somehow on Macbook Neo.

How Usenet works

Usenet is an old replicated network that is basically a giant forum. There are many providers that offer access to it. Clients use NNTP to read and write articles in newsgroups. A newsgroup is like a directory that contains a stream of articles that each have a unique message ID.
