If I'm reading you right - I think you're just using the wrong keyframe 
type.
Any form of easy ease always implies a stop in the motion. So if you 
have a series of position kf's each with easy ease applied the object is 
going to stop momentarily at each one.

What you need to use is an auto-bezier kf.  Ctrl / Cmd click on your kf 
until you see a big round one : )
That will have a somewhat similar temporal smoothing effect to easy ease 
- /*but doesn't force a stop in motion.*/

Hope this helps.
