Dell chose the Alps touchpad over the superior Synaptics one, god knows why they made such a retarded decision. The Synaptic ones have much better features and is much more responsive under high load. I had one on my previous laptop and loved it. Maybe try tweaking the touchpad settings (control panel -> mouse) or check if the CPU is under load when the touchpad refuses to move.
