While I share your dislike for Norrington, consider the possibility that he may just not be a very good conductor regardless of his ideology.Listen to the first movement of his Eroica and compare with Toscanini's. Same basic tempo, but the Maestro generates drama, suspense, even terror. Norrington's band sounds like a badly tuned
bunch of weekend players.Beethoven may have been fond of fast tempi (a conclusion based on the famous rapid metronome markings) but was also known for great freedom of phrasing, rather than the rigidity typical of Norrington's work.
