double click speed is still in the control panel > mouse > buttons (tab) >
double click speed

also, not quite related, but i also have my "show location" option set so
that i can hit ctrl anytime i lose where my mouse is pointing to (easy to
happen with large monitors). hitting ctrl causes concentric circles to
converge on your mouse location. control panel > mouse > pointer options
(tab) > "show location of pointer when i press the ctrl key"
