I think I can make it faster if we add an additional optional argument
that tells vertical-motion the X coordinate at point.  vertical-motion
invests a lot of cycles in finding a place whose X coordinate is
known, so providing that for its starting point will avoid all that
effort.  Will this help you, i.e. can you provide such a value with
each call?
