hjkl by themselves are probablly not a lot faster than arrow keys, after watching various people code in Vim on twitch, I notice quite a few use them like arrow keys to arrow to where they want. But it's how hjkl combo with other motions that makes getting around easy. Though I really like easymotion ( and derivitives ) for getting around to random places
