From the MouseXoom 2.0+ readme:
"How does MouseZoom work?
Source is available. MouseZoom 2.0+ sets the HIDMouseAcceleration and
HIDTrackpadAcceleration keys in the IOHIDSystem class using
IOHIDSetAccelerationWithKey. This is exactly the method apple's mouse
prefpane uses - I just let you set it higher."
I didn't actually notice any information mentioning where to get the
source, albeit I also didn't look very hard.... I imagine emailing the
developer might be the best route:

Hope this helps and doesn't completely reiterate something I missed.

how would one speed up mouse tracking beyond what the System Prefs
allow in Cocoa? is it possible?
I personally use a preferences pane called MouseZoom
(
http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=12205&db=mac). If
you're asking how to do it in code, though, I don't know; maybe you can
track down and ask MouseZoom's author...?
Here's an old snippet from MacOSXHints that seems to contain a clue:

defaults write -globalDomain com.apple.mouse.scaling -float 9.9
works for me. I shut down computer (Powerbook Pismo) or remove USB
Microsoft mouse and I still have set settings in .GlobalPreferences.plist

I imagine there's more to mouse speed than one parameter, but a
"defaults read -globalDomain" only showed that one. Maybe you could
install MouseZoom and see what it does to your defaults -- kind of
reverse-engineer it.
