There are a bunch of UNIX-ish utilities made by MIX Software,
called the C/Utilites Toolchest.  This has the same sort of things
as MKS Toolkit.  e.g. mv, ls, sh, grep, sed, ...  In particular,
there's a command called mvdir that does what you want.  It 
will move an entire subdirectory tree to anywhere else in the same
filesystem (i.e. not across partitions or physical drives.)  
Judging by the speed, it must recursively move individual files rather
than copy/deleting them.  But unfortunately it still does get really 
slow sometimes.  The cost of all the utilities is $20 w/ a decent
manual, and $30 extra for ALL the source.  It's a great deal, at
least I'm a happy customer.
