I would actually say there are a few that are faster than Pokies. H.maculata and S.calceatum being two of them. Based off of everything I've been told and from personal experience Tapinauchenius are widely considered the fastest of all tarantulas. In my experience these will make even Pokies look slow. Personally I find Pokies easy to deal with, I have New Worlds that give me more trouble when rehousing, like my P.irminia. I agree though that Poecilotheria are pretty easy to care for, they are very hardy.
