why in the conclusions of the SL1 review do they comment non-STM lenses struggle in live view?

I saw this in the M3 I had, but never in my 70D. I'm keen on getting an SL1 but afraid I'd find this struggle to focus unacceptable. Why does it struggle?

if you press the MENU button and select the third menu from the left (next to the play icon) until you see Live View settings, you can adjust the "AF method" that Live View uses. There is a mode called "Quick Mode" that flips the mirror down to focus and flips back up when it's done. It's much quicker than the Hybrid CMOS AF II.
