Well, if you use an adobe epub on a kobo device you'll notice that the page number does not automatically change every time you flip the page. This is because as you say it uses an algorithm to determine the page numbers. This means that as long as it's the same edition of the book the algorithm should calculate the pages at the same spots. It's nice that if I look at a screen of an adobe drm epub on my kobo i can g o to the same page number on the desktop and find the contents of the page to be the same.
As for the other thing I always found that changing pages, calling up the menu, rendering changes in font settings took ages longer on the glo with epubs than with kepus when dealing with large books, especially those anthologies containing multiple large novels in one epub/kepub.
