Comment(by mgleahy):

 From your note, were you suggesting something like:

 OpenLayers.Event.observe(document,'mousemove',this.mousemove);

 then later:

 OpenLayers.Event.stopObserving(document,'mousemove',this.mousemove);

 If so, I'm not having success experimenting with that approach at the
 moment.  Is it different enough from from the Events.on() and Events.un()
 functions for registering/unregistering the event functions to have a
 significant impact?  How would you recommend using the
 observe/stopObserving approach, relative to the changes in the patches
 I've posted?

 I'll attach a new patch that creates the Events object in the initialize
 function as you suggest, which accomplishes more or less the same thing,
 but creates the Events object before it is needed, instead of at the time
 that the user first leaves the map extent (as Drag.js was originally
 written).
