I cannot reproduce this in "emacs -Q" with today's master.  Do you
have any customizations related to scrolling?  This further input from
you:

> Also, when point reaches edge of screen Emacs instantly shows you next
> portion of text so point gets in the middle of the screen, instead of
> just showing you one more line.                            ^^^^^^^^^^
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

seems to indicate that you have customized scrolling, because by
default Emacs does not scroll just one line.  Perhaps you have
scroll-conservatively set to a large value; if so, I'd indeed expect
some slowdown when the font size is changed, because supporting
scroll-conservatively is sometimes costly, especially when the last
displayed line is only partially visible.

So please try this in "emacs -Q" first.

Thanks.
