Mouse speed is contained in input.prefs, which is written to
ENVARC:sys/input.prefs.  The normal startup-sequence copies such
files to ENV:sys/input.prefs, where IPrefs finds it.

Make sure that ENVARC: is assigned to somewhere permanent (i.e. not RAM).
Make sure that ENVARC: isn't reassigned after startup (else the Prefs
file will be copied to the new location, but refreshed upon boot from
the old).  Make sure you don't have any write-protected input.prefs
file in ENVARC:.
