No not really... its actually quicker to strike spc bar twice (to me)
What I had hoped for was some setting so that there wouldn't be yet
more clickety clack to exchange point and mark .. I don't understand
why it defaults to selecting the region.
Maybe I'm using C-x C-x for the wrong purpose (to return to previous
location) and should be using registers.. but again, its more messing
around. That would require.
C-x r spc <select name> <enter>
C-x r j <select name <enter> to return
As opposed to C-x C-x
Maybe there are more ways to return to previous location?

I saw that, yes but wasn't looking for a solution that involved more
key strokes. Striking spc bar twice is bad enough but at least fairly
quick.
Something like C-1 C-x C-x might get to be routine.. but doesn't seem
so handy just at a few tests.
