Does anyone have an idea what is causing this; slower cpu, slower touch sensors, not optimized code ? Is Koreader I saw on dev forum any faster ?

As you owned a Kindle before I'm not surprised that you noticed this.
Kobo readers are known to be relatively (a bit) slower than those of competitors.
If you keep on reading you will probably get used to it.

For example check the column "Umblättern epub/AZW":
