Even in Fundamental mode, it's slow enough that if I hold down the down arrow to scroll, the cursor disappears and I can't see where I am, and I have to let go of the key and wait a second for it to catch up. This is true even when the screen doesn't have to scroll. In Emacs, as long as the screen doesn't have to scroll, I can see the cursor as it's moving. It's a very useful visual feedback to have while navigating. In Haskell mode, it's even slower. Mind you, I think it's awesome that it uses real parsing, and not just regexes, as it means I won't have the occasional highlighting bugs I see in Emacs. But I would think that would only affect editing, not cursor movement. I suspect it has something to do with the way vty displays the cursor, rather than slowness of the editor itself. Thus why I would like to switch to GTK.
