Look in the Preferences, Audio for the "Fast mixer" checkbox.

Here's the situation: Some older computers will respond faster with that box checked, but many newer computers may actually work faster with it unchecked, so try it both ways.

Another thing, I find it to be a bit faster here when using ASIO drivers as opposed to MME, likely there is also a latency factor in there, but from what you describe I'm pretty sure that most of what you are getting is due to the Fast Mixer Moves checkbox.
