Hydraulics *do* have a maximum slew rate, though, which might be what he meant. On a Cub, you can snap the stick from one side to the other and the ailerons actually move. With a hydraulic system, you can only move the stick so fast; the fluid in the pipes needs time to flow, and the pumps can only handle so much volume at once. There is a "transition-time" attribute in YASim that you can use to specify speeds for surface deflections. I added it for flaps, obviously, but I think I've seen that Lee has used it for this kind of applicaiton.
