Does anyone know about these problem. And, preferably, what to do about it?
This is sort of a known problem, although that amount of lag is unusual. Essentially, Inkscape does a lot of work to determine which shape the cursor is over at a given moment for status bar displays cursor shape updates and so forth.
How fast is your machine, and do you see the same behavior when using a regular mouse as opposed to the tablet? If there's a dramatic difference, you may be able to mitigate the problem by reducing the tablet resolution, if that's configurable (less frequent events means it's easier for Inkscape to keep up).
I'm still exploring solutions for making this faster on the Inkscape side (mostly not trying to process EVERY motion event when there are a lot).
