Hi,

So when you click on a window, the mouse interrupt handler is
executed on behalf of the window manager (which the kernel must
have observed to be a I/O bound task :) ), and hence gave it a
higher priority. The window is highlighted immediately to give
you a feel of high interractivity.
Hmmm... I would like to point out that it's the X server that reads the
mouse device not the window manager. And following this logic, it will
be the X server that gets all the CPU.
