I would work on that, for sure. I clocked myself roughly -- very roughly -- at about 180 rpm going down a hill riding a fixed gear. When I spin fast, I try to make it smooth. Maybe you'd enjoy a little training on a fixie, too.

And as fa63 hinted, your seat might be too high. The faster you spin, the lower you'll want it. Well, within limits.
