This thread is going to deal with many different types of speed including movement, reactions and jutsu execution.

How fast are Shikamaru's shadows?
Shikamaru's shadows aren't too fast but these feats were from a relatively close range so reacting to attacks much faster does become possible at longer distances. Nevertheless, in Shippuden, Shikamaru's shadows have shown to be fast enough to capture Hidan before he could stab himself (

My guess is that she'll be even faster than Onoki's flight speed based on how it works as shown below in the bold. If making poses can make you fly fast, shooting fuuton with real momentum should make you go faster than that.
All in all, the ability of Temari to temporarily lighten herself could allow her to shunshin much faster than her ordinary speed and even fly allowing her to evade certain wide scale attacks. Characters will have a much harder time in tagging Temari than previously thought!

If Temari is in an actual fight and the starting distance is greater, she'd have a much easier time reacting which goes to show that during the Chuunin exams, people of weighted Lee's level of speed can be easily reacted to and won't be able to close the distance especially when Temari can retreat while fending them off with her long ranged attacks.

Towards the end of the fight (

), Kankuro ends up warning that there was a parachute above her. This diverted her attention towards the parachute and away from its shadow. By the time she looks back at the shadow, it is now just a few inches away from her feet yet she still manages to backpaddle away. How fast are Shikamaru's shadows?
Shikamaru's shadows aren't too fast but these feats were from a relatively close range so reacting to attacks much faster does become possible at longer distances. Nevertheless, in Shippuden, Shikamaru's shadows have shown to be fast enough to capture Hidan before he could stab himself (

Now part one Shikamaru's shadows are obviously slower but part one Temari is also slower than her part two self so it stands to reason Temari can still replicate her speed feats in Shippuden against a Shippuden Shikamaru especially when she's shown a greater growth rate and is less lazy than him. So this goes to show that Shippuden Temari can move backwards faster than Hidan can move his scythe. Sasuke Retrieval Arc

yet her WCN has almost already reached the 3rd Raikage who gets caught at the centre of the attack which goes to show that the attack was too fast for him to even move close to the sides. Considering Temari completes her fan swing in this span of time, it shows that if she was standing right in front of the 3rd Raikage, that fan swing would have hit him. Sure 3rd Raikage would simply block and grab her fan or punch her but my point is that someone with above average speed can't simply run circles around her even when in close quarters where she is weak. Just bare in mind that the 3rd Raikage wasn't wearing raiton armour so don't think this feat is THAT impressive. Feat S-3.2

If Mifune can stop a jutsu from being used when the hand seals haven't even been finished, it stands to reason that Temari can still finish off her enemy before an elemental user can completely exhale out the jutsu.

You must be registered for see links
). The only problem is that we can't quantify this like it was shown in the anime so we'll have to measure just how powerful Temari's fuuton are. Her ordinary kamaitachi no jutsu was so powerful that it

against the force of gravity forcing her to grab onto a tree with her superhuman strength and barely managed to keep herself from flying away. This goes to show Temari's fuuton has a great deal of momentum especially when we take into account that
You must be registered for see links
.
You must be registered for see links
thus making her weightless much like Muu/Onoki's jutsu giving forth a nice speed boost. The fuuton will also propel her parallel to the ground enhancing the effect of Temari's own movement. This could allow Temari to attain high speed movement on the ground or in the air. My guess is that she'll be even faster than Onoki's flight speed based on how it works as shown below in the bold. If making poses can make you fly fast, shooting fuuton with real momentum should make you go faster than that.

The technique reduces the target's gravity. It's natural application is to enhance, naturally it's used to make the weight of the things one carries lighten, ones personal weight can also be reduced, making ones movements fast and agile. The atmosphere as well as the human body is made light, in-order to soar through the sky. On occasion, It is popular for a person to control the jutsu's flight in the sky with specific stances (heavy paraphrased, but you get it, many users control their flight with their stance), with practice one can freely fly about in the sky.
