Hi Sue,
The worlds fastest knitter knits Continental Style:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DaFi0nhA1uHU&feature=3Drelated
The UK's fastest knitter knits English Style:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DWjEh7acrr5o
I've tried knitting Continental Style, but am slow as molasses, and
need lots more practice. I'm much more comfortable knitting English
Style, and that's the way I was taught.
take care, Linda D. in B.C., Canada

I am pretty fast knitting English style, not as fast as the "fastest
knitters", but fast nonetheless.
I wanted to learn the Continental style of knitting for fun, and I
remember my Mom would switch back and forth depending on how her hands
were feeling. I guess she found one method used different muscles
than the other, it wasn't to gain speed.
