Indeed, that's what I think.

I don't think it's possible to make it faster.  I forgot to mention that 
C-s works instantly, too.

To anticipate one possible criticism: this feature comes at a (IMO) very 
little price, namely that inside long lines (and only inside long lines) 
line-move-visual does always not work as expected, point sometimes moves 
to another column (but in most cases does not).  That's the only 
compromise I did, and it is unavoidable.
