Speed as in the character's speeds. One Piece has Kizaru whose able to move at light speeds which makes him by far the fastest character in HST and  at least a  dozen people as fast as lightning  or faster than lightning, making them the fastest verse.

Naruto has the second highest speeds considering Minato and Tobirama's FTG jutsus and Juubito speeds puts them at least  faster than lightning with top tiers within Naruto typically being as fast as lightning(Raikage, Hashirama,Gai, Itachi)  to faster than lightning( RM-BM Naruto, EMS Sasuke)

Fairy Tail is considered third highest in speed given the boost of speed and power within the timeskip. If this was PTS Fairy Tail, they'll be below Bleach but given Gray and Natsu are at least as fast as PTS Erza Laxus currently as well as anyone on their level thanks to Second Origin ( Gajeel, Juvia,Loki etc) and Laxus and  Jellal getting boosted up  despite the former being as fast as lightning and  the latter being as fast as a meteor. Not to mention all currentS class level mages like Minerva, Kagura and Jura who can rival or  outrun people like Erza, Jellal and Laxus.

Bleach remains last place largely due to the lack of quantifiable feats of speed and the fact the verse didn't get a massive boost in speed or power like One Piece and Fairy Tail's timeskips.Despite that, alot of high tiers are at least Hypersonic with Senior Captains and Vizard Captains being lightning speed level and Yoruichi being faster than lightning as well as Yamamoto, Ichigo and Aizen of course. Gin's Mach 500 Bankai is debatable largely  due to the fact he  claim to lie about it's speed and Bankai Ichigo whose much slower than Mach 500 blocked it( although Gin could've been toying with Ichigo all the time)

As for actual pacing, i actually  like the long winded nature of the story for it actually does a surprising amount of character development. Also Bleach is hardly better when it comes to explaining it's techniques to the opponent.
