Being better then people who moved large ships doesn't mean he can move a ship exponentially larger then the ones his inferiors did.
And for your claim regarding the Korriban feat to be true we'd have to
1. Disregard the fact that he accomplished the feat on a DS nexus and
2. Assume the cruisers Dooku manipulated were 80-160 meters long.
3. Ignore the fact that prior to guiding the Star Destroyer's decent Galen had powered a blast that destroyed a superstructure which dwarfed 1600 meter long ships.
Even doing all that that wouldn't make throwing those ships around better then manipulating a million ton object that has gravity accelerating the force of its descent.

He moved the Star Destroyer not only against gravity but the the accelerated force of its descent as well when he upended the ISD after it impacted with the ground.

I honestly fail to see how Dooku throwing cruiser is more impressive and I'm quite acquinted with calculations. Dooku lifted and threw far smaller and far lighter ships. Even if Starkiller only applied a effective force in, let's say, 1/10 of the mass of the Star Destroyer, it's already an order of magnitude greater than Dooku's feat, at minimum. Not to say Starkiller had unfavorable circuntances as the descending ship obviously limited his choices in what to exactly do in that circunstances, while Dooku had just to lift some cruisers from the ground.
Exactly. Even if the ships Dooku manipulated WERE 1/10 the length of the ISD they would still be far less then 1/10 the weight since they don't share it's height, width or depth ( not to mention all the equipment and ships it holds ).

I tought Dooku lifted them up first (there's a passage in the book where Anakin and Obi Wan see the floating ships like "ghost ships", believe) and then he throws them. I can be misrememberig things, however. If Dooku just pushed them the feat clearly loses a good portion of it's hype.
