Something I was thinking about later was that "speed" is all relative to the person. For a lot of people, if you're going faster than BB King than it's too fast while for some other people they might look at Yngwie and think the guy was a slow poke ;-)
Also, while "speed" would seem like the most objective thing in music, literally measurable unlike "feel" etc., people almost always ignore the objective facts and confuse "famous" or "favorite" with "fastest" -- which I find intersting.
