Increasing-double click speed of mouse increases windows speed

Microsoft developer Raymond Chen has confirmed in this post of him that increasing mosue double-click speed actually increases mouse speed.

Settings that are tweaked when you increase mouse settings:

• The default tooltip timeouts are based on the double-click time. (Initial: 0.5s, autopop: 5s, reshow: 0.1s.)

• Incremental searching in list boxes resets after 4 times the double click time (2s).

• When you click and hold over a scroll bar arrow, autorepeat begins after 4/5 of the double-click time has elapsed (.4s), and autorepeat occurs at one tenth of the double-click time (0.05s = 20 repeats per second).

• The menu speed used to be 4/5 of the double click speed (0.4s), but now it has its own setting (SPI_SETMENUSHOWDELAY).
