I don't notice any slow cursor movement with EVE.

With large files, you are talking about something that might have been
a problem in the era of MicroVax II machines but it simply isn't a
problem these days. EVE is also one hell of a lot more efficient at
handling large files overall anyway because it doesn't need an EDT-style
workfile.
