it's part of the os... the ppc equivalent of the window's "hourglass"
and, afaik, cannot be removed or replaced.

You could get a PPC with a really, really, really fast processor. ;) You
might need a welders glove to hold it, and the battery life would likely
suck though.

It can be replaced. Perhaps the OP could create their own transparent cursor
so they don't actually see it.

This is the "Wait Cursor". Most applications try to display it when
they are busy, so users know _something_ is happening, at least partly
so users don't try the same command (like start the program) again.
The timing can be tricky, so sometimes it shows up later than it
should. And some programs call it at the wrong time or don't manage to
display the normal cursor when they're ready. But I as a user sure
like to see it when a program is busy.

If you're trying to change the image for the wait cursor, that's a
different issue. I don't have any help, but I think an earlier post at
least tried.
