Also interesting is how the phonetics of some languages & dialects can result in faster talking. I heard that Tamil having much less number of consonants, and lacking the ones that need more stress (I forgot the term for this) makes it much faster to speak. Although Malayalam sounds faster to me, probably due to accent it is spoken.
