What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?


I often hear people say "That speaker has great speed". What do they mean? I know the music isn't playing at a different pitch. Could it possibly be related to efficiency?

Speed = Rise and Decay

I enjoy a fast midrange/woofer/subwoofer and cabinet design, as it sounds crisp and accurate. 

Tweeters are generally fast. I enjoyed the Focal Tc120/90 series tdxt with the vented pole piece, as you could build a rear enclosure and affect the sound/speed of the tweeter like other drivers in the system.
