There is no magic.

High cadence doesn't mean you will go faster than someone that is efficient with a lower cadence.
fwiw, most people are most efficient at about 90rpms in steady riding.

If you can spin a big gear, you will go faster. You need to do both (spin+bigger gear=speed).
That is why motorpacing is a valuable training aid.
