I am heartened that after reading some rather dubious "speed" claim, I find more reasonable or believable statements being made. As for the comment someone made about progressive machines, let's be realistic. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in your "odds" of success whether you play 300 hph or 1,000 hph.
Some posters seem to be using their "speed" as a surrogate for claims about penis size or any other attribute where polls have shown most people consider themselves to be above average (which is of course statistically impossible for a particular attribute).
I have yet to read anyone claiming that VP is more fun at warp speed and since virtually no one can make a significant hourly wage from playing VP (at least not on 25 cent machines), then fun seems to be the point.

Three thousand hands an hour is 50 hands per minute; five thousand hands an hour is 83 hands per minute; both are in the range of one hand per second or faster. Perhaps some machines at other facilities are faster?
