Because it solves a harder problem.  It is easier to get to a given
buffer position than it is to get to a given pixel X coordinate: in
the latter case you need to start from a position that has a known X
coordinate, so you need first to get there.

But I suggest to time these 2 functions without their shr-* wrappers,
as I'm not sure the difference is so large.

Also, did you invoke vertical-motion from the beginning of a physical
line, or from some place in the middle of the line?
