There is some sort of input event compression available through 
application flags. For the rest, you could just not act on events that 
happen too close together (either wait a bit before acting, so to get N 
events, or act on the first one and ignore the subsequent ones in a 
short time frame).

But there's just no public access to the pending event queue.
