    Yes you do have to do that yourself (if thats the desired effect),
These events are delivered as is from the X server, The mouse device
itself may be configured to deliver events at certain intervals (so as
not to spam the system), so the faster you move the mouse; the greater
the interval in pixels from the last mouse location.
