If you
want to blur your background in a portrait type image in bright 
sunlight
you'll need the fast speeds to run f2 range aperatures.

Very fast shutter speeds can be used for such purposes, but they're far 
from the only way.  Slower films (at ISO 100, correct exposure at f/2 
is 1/2000 in direct sun... even ZX-M can do that) and ND filters are 
two others that come to mind.
