Why is it surprising? If you have a knob with lines and numbers around it, and you turn it a fixed distance, don't you expect the machine to move the same distance? If it was a manual machine, you would be astonished if you turned the handwheel by 0.200" and the machine only moved 0.150". Granted, it is a bit unnatural to have the machine lag behind the wheel, if it was a manual machine that would be impossible. When the jog increments are small, it doesn't happen with EMC either, because the machine can move faster than your hand can drive the wheel. But if you have large increments, you can crank in many inches of movement faster than the machine can move, and then it needs to catch up.
