It's not so easy to use the adaptive zoom correctly.
I can't think of many situations where you have to "deshake" the real zoom, so although "edge compensation adaptive zoom" is the default, maybe "adaptive zoom only" will be the more likely choice.
Then the motion smoothness for zoom must indeed be quite high (~5000) because it should resemble a slow real zoom.
But the motion smoothness for panning and rotation can be much lower (~500), only those do the real deshaking.
The lowest "nice" values can be found by leaving the zoom value 0 and using "edge compensation none", then increasing the pan/rot values until the shake is gone.
Then use the high zoom value and "adaptive zoom only".
That way only ONE of the four values is high, which makes it much faster and leaves more "space" for soft zooming.

Maybe the caption is a little bit misleading, too:
It looks like the difference between "Adaptive zoom (some borders)" and "Adaptive zoom only" is only how much borders are in the result which in fact is NOT the difference (as the manual correctly tells).
