USM is not faster, at least until you have very long lens with heavy optics.
It is in-camera AF system that is responsible for accurate and sure
focusing. Differencies in AF performance are visible in low light. Here from
what I've tried so far Nikon performs best with their CAM-2000 system used
in D2 series DSLRs and in F6. It has identical number, type and placement of
AF sensors as in Safox VIII used in istD, but the difference in performance
under low light is huge in favour of Nikon.
