Oly 40-150 2.8 Focus Hunting- Is it just me?

I'm sorry, but on my Em-1, with AF set to AF-S, this lens, while incredibly sharp, hunts like crazy.

When I am focused far away, and then try to focus on near, or near, and then focus on something far away, I get hunting. In and out.

If the difference from where it just had focused to the current object is not a great deal, then it quickly focuses. Otherwise, it's hunting season.

It's gotten so bad I pre-focus whenever I can.

Is it just me, or is it the lens, or is it something in settings?
