I'm seeing almost the same behavior in an 8.04.4 guest on a 10.04 host.

The mouse pointer movement in the guest was ABYSMALLY slow until I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use 'mouse' instead of 'vmmouse'. After doing that and restarting X, mouse performance inside the guest matched that of the host. I lost the ability to seamlessly transition between the virt-manager window and the host, but this is a minor convenience. Having the mouse pointer move in conjunction with my physical mouse is a necessity.

I did not notice the high CPU usage that others are reporting in this bug.
