My untested belief based on a small sample (two) is that VP playing speed is directly related to reading speed. Probably 80% natural ability and 20% practice. My wife Chris reads extremely fast, she can easily finish a typical paperback novel in less than a day without effort. She plays video poker at about 1000-1200 hands per hour without any effort on games that she knows well and I clocked her several years ago (if I remember correctly) at 1600 on FPDW back when we were playing that a lot. She can play 1000 hph and carry on a conversation! I, on the other hand, make mistakes at any speed when I get chatty. Seriously, I struggle to get over 800 with accuracy when concentrating on the task. My ADD may have something to do with it ;-) Put a couple glasses of wine in me and I'm probably better off playing craps!
Happy travels
