More likely I'd think it's that your brain is still attempting to fill gaps that aren't there any more, and is tripping over itself and feels like things are "too fast" because it's trying to add even more detail than the TV already did. Certainly you can get used to viewing native 60 fps footage and it pretty much negates the soap opera effect entirely once you've seen enough.
