A321 Auto Throttle

Probably the wrong subject header, but I have a question on the A321 ?

Does the FMS/Autothrottle "Hunt" the heading and alt set - irrespective of the speed?

For example, you set a fairly complex departure with a climb, a level, a turn, another climb/turn and then a level and so forth, will the FMS cope with this , is it normal procedure and no great shakes ?

Just a query on a European operator I was on as pax last week, either the FMS or the FO was working bloody hard at 7-8 throttle changes up and down before cleaning up at TOC.

FYI outta LHR to DUB.

cheers
