I think I did a explain why in my early e-mail.  Now onto Tarik's 
response:

I guess that could be a problem (the snap to grid thing), but with 
column view I pretty much never want to use icon view again.  As for 
the preview thing, why not just turn off Preview?  Problem solved!  You 
can either click the preview arrow in the preview pane, or go to Show 
View Options (cmd-j) and uncheck "show previews."

Well, I guess you should probably hit "a-d" a little quicker as if you 
were typing it.  The way it works great for me, and I have Delay Until 
Repeat in the preference pane set to the shortest possible (which, it 
seems, controls the difference in keyboard-finder navigation).

Hopefully that helps,
