I would never say "it will never be fast no matter what"....not so different than my hybrid I rode on a 75 mile ride that I finished, and kept up with a few ladies on road bikes who did not finish.
It may not be "as fast" as a road bike with 700x25 tires.

Agreed, my goal is not to go as fast as a road bike but to try to get as much speed out of my bike as possible with minimal trade offs. I'm too old to pile on the spandex and ride all hunched over for hours at a time but I do like to go as fast as I can while still maintaining a degree of comfort.
