Speed, in this case, isn't about CPU resources, it's more about clarity. The faster a human tries to write, the poorer the quality of the individual letters formed - generally.
I don't mean to crawl over the drawing area, more to *think* about the letter being formed and try to ensure the shape you draw is as clear and unambiguous as possible. Generally, this means writing slowly and methodically - like a primary school child (without pressing too hard).
The movement needs to be smooth and drawing / writing quickly tends to encourage two problematic behaviours:
1. Lifting the stylus whilst drawing.2. Continuing into the next letter without moving the stylus back to the left edge of the drawing area.
I think maybe alternative methods of input are the answer.
