At sufficient velocity through the interstellar medium? The "rarity" of physical particles would be much less so and the high-energy impact of them would essentially become ionizing radiation, sort of a "cosmic-ray" headwind.
As to quantum events? Since they happen in such infinitesimally small time frames, I don't believe that they would interact with non-quantum objects/events. Though the idea is worth pondering.
I was saying that friction from cosmic dust is negligible in the current context we were talking about, though what that context is I'm not sure anymore.
Anyway, the vacuum is responsible for macroscopic effects like black hole evaporation, the casmir effect, not to mention the funcamental forces (excluding gravity for now). Dark Wolf would be much better at answering this than me.
