You didn't say which group you were referring to. I guess you're talking about "speedboats", which I guess is referring to leaders who zoom around the floor, switching lanes, diving into any open gap, and generally making everyone else nervous because you're never sure when a space that you knew was there a second ago will still be there for you to pivot and step into.
I'm generally far less bothered by someone slowing down in front of me than I am by someone overtaking me along what I thought was the edge of the dance floor, or suddenly jumping into a small gap in front of me, especially if I've just turned to face contrary to the line of dance and am about to wheel back into that gap that I know is there. If everyone maintains position, dawdlers shouldn't be an issue. It's not like it's hard to dance in place for a bit when blocked, or stretch out when there's a gap in front.
