Admittedly, there aren't that many occasions when the VERY rapid page turning is needed, but it's one of those "hey, that's handy" kind of things when the situation does arise.
The main reason for the difference in page turn speed is the KePub has less text on screen because of it's very poor text handling. But the difference is not all that much and ePub is not too slow. ePub can get a lot more text on screen and because of the better typesetting with ePub, it looks better for a better reading experience. So ePub give you better batter life with less page turns.
