deʃhipuI have the mechanical part ready, and I did a small test of the ears movement. They move so slow because that's what the test does, not because they are so slow -- in fact, they can move into a new position quite fast.
On the control side, I gave up on the Pololu IMU, and instead went with a simple GY-61 analog accelerometer. This should be more than enough, since I only need to react to movements, and this is much simpler to interface.

Very nice! Do you plan to control them by some kind of sound (whistle?) position detection?
Are you sure? yes | no
I plan to control them with an accelerometer on my head. The initial idea was to simply have different positions for different positions of my head, but now I see that I can do better -- I can, for instance, make them perk up when there are any sudden movements.
I also want to make them twitch randomly from time to time.
