Hi Bernhard,

I have just pushed your patch (rev 6560). It is better to avoid #ifdefs
if possible, but I am not able to provide a better solution at the
moment and your changes have a positive impact on the overall
performance. Thank you for taking care of the problem.

Regards,
Orson

Cocoa events have a hasPreciseScrollingDeltas method that will provide this information.  It is used in wxWidgets window.mm, for instance, when translating NSEvents to wx events.
