Compared to my Kobo 7" H2Ov2, where these updates almost instant, but in turn the Kobo has severe ghosting in general...
The reason I like koreader is browsing/searching functionality, quick jumps between technical books/articles (= need responsive GUI), and using gestures saves from a lot of GUI update penalty.

This is indeed the case, but the assumption here is that everyone uses koreader already on PB :>. Koreader cheats a little in that we blast low quality waveforms (DU/GL, stock reader uses GC only,
see eink explanation) for almost everything as of september snapshots.
It flickers and shows weird (but intermittent) update artifacts and what not quite often, in addition to mild ghosting. But it's only for UI and significantly faster to update the screen compared to what stock firmware does (50-150ms vs 200-400ms stock). This doesn't help with the slow CPU though.
