Personaly I like this kind of feature :)

It could also be something like a "speed bar" that you could move back and
forth, to play "a la" matrix :)
When you want to move from a point A to a point B fastly, put the cursor on
"fast", in fight reduce to "normal", and when it become hard, switch to
"slow"...

IIRC, "HExplore" (an old Diablo like game in voxel) had a similar system.
