This is just a rather weak excuse for bad and sloppy programing, have
a look at Tempus (a text editor from CCD, I think it's available in the
US now) to have a look at what kind of speed you can even have in a GEM
program. It is naturally true that you can't scroll the screen as fast
as on a IBM-PC, but you still can do it a LOT faster than VIP does on
a ST.
