It does, however.  Some functions are sensitive to where
they are called from.  ROW, COLUMN, and INDIRECT for example.
Therefore we need to recalculate moved cells and anything that
depends on them.  If I remember correctly we just ask for
recomputation of everything because it is, in general, faster
than trying to follow dependents of a very large area.

But that doesn't explain why things are slow to begin with.
To evaluate that we would need to see a sample spreadsheet
that misbehaves.  (And you should make sure you are using
a recent version.)  bugzilla.gnome.org is best for this.

A workaround worth trying is to turn off automatic recomputation.
