 > Can we get a description of what "easier" is here, perhaps with some
 screencasts?

 Here's a demo that shows why the pointer tolerance makes it easier:
 http://jquery-
 ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.6rc5/demos/sortable/tolerance.html

 Default Tolerance:
 Try dragging the box called "default tolerance" to the middle of the first
 row (so basically to the right of "2" in the first row). Note that you
 have to be past 2 before the shift happens, even though you know you're
 going to move it past it.

 Pointer Tolerance:
 Try dragging the box called "pointer tolerance" to the middle of the
 second row (so to the right of the row 2 "2". Note jQuery realizes you're
 going to drag it to the right, and does the swap after you've passed about
 80% of the box.
