Sporadic input delay on MacOS Tahoe 26.0.1 (1000Hz mouse)

After updating from Sequoia to Tahoe, input events are sometimes throttled and delayed for a period of time. This is really obvious with mouse input:

Every line in the console output contains a "=" per event. My mouse is a Logitech G305 set to 1000hz polling rate which is why I'm getting so many mouse events per frame initially.

This is the expected behavior:

I didn't think to create a repro test case before downgrading back to Sequoia but it should be as simple as plugging in a high rate mouse and moving it around for a while. The throttling happens pretty frequently.
