When you use the viewfinder to compose and the touch screen as a AF target pad, the screen doesn't react as it should: it's slow and laggy, and not very accurate.

Lets see if I got this right. You are looking through the EVF, meanwhile selecting with a finger, not the arrow keys, the AF location on the Touch LCD panel. While you drag your finger around the LCD panel, the movement of the AF area box seen through the EVF is jerky. By inaccurate, you mean the focus isn't accurate, the selected focus point isn't what you selected, or the movement jumps in varying increments, hence making it difficult to select the desired AF point accurately?

But when you compose with the screen and use the touch screen to select a different focus point, it's plenty quick and accurate. I really don't know why.
