xset m 5300

You only need to do this when you reboot from cold, and the previous keystrokes are remembered, so once you've typed it once you can get it back with an up arrow, but it does make things snappier.

I've raised a Feedback report about this, and hopefully as more ChromeOS devices get used with big monitors Google will widen the mouse speed range.

(Incidentally, being able to send feedback to Google, with a screenshot, via Settings > Report an issue or Alt-Shift-I is another lovely thing about ChromeOS.)

Thanks for the tip. I'm saving this for future reference when I hook up the monitor.
