Bug Description

the mouse keys setting in the pointing and clicking tab of universal access preferences allows you to control the mouse cursor using the numeric keypad. This moves really really slowly, one pixel at a time. Using the xkbset command it is possible to adjust the speed and rate of acceleration to the max speed.
