Sometimes I use the keyboard to move the mouse pointer, typically to move
something strictly vertically or horizontally.  However, the way it is
implemented now makes it a pain to move the mouse pointer from the keyboard
mainly because the auto-repeat feature causes EXPONENTIAL acceleration!

My suggestion?  When the auto-repeat kicks in, move the mouse pointer only
one unit per repeat.  Furthermore, if the shift-amiga-arrow keys are used,
move the mouse pointer a more reasonable distance instead of 100 units.
Moving 10 units might be nice for people who are most familiar with decimal.
Moving 8 or 9 units would be nice for use with topaz/8 or topaz/9.
