My standard approach to curves in symphony has morphed over the years. I use a wacom tablet and that helps to tap for a dot and drag it around without having to click and hold the mouse button. Over time I've adopted to tap for an anchor point then click on the value box and use up and down curser buttons to move the dot. I can't say it was because of the response but maybe subconsciously I realized I had more precise control with the up down arrows. For big moves I'll drag with the pen but for more subtle control the cursors work for me. I also type in numeric values in gain and setup etc... as the sliders never felt good to me and I can type more precisely than I could drag.
