Hi orbital 

Try changing the resolution when you move your object change static to 8 and motion on 8 and then either have selected on 32 or 64(remember you can change these settings when you want to compress them). That should make it quicker to move but the moving from a-b maybe a problem as when I move objects they tend to go in whatever way they see fit so if you resize an object when its about to be used you get a good result but resizing when its been moved distorts it I have found. I maybe wrong but I hope this helps a bit. Oh and one thing thats handy group your object and then go to create and save it for other files.
