Also Sakura had to cover a lot little distance compared to that giant hand (which was like Juubi's hand which got reacted by allience doods) and still getting caught:

I do agree she is faster than people give her credit for, she can avoid most of the attacks such as elemental blasts in linear fashion, but due to shunshin being a sudden burst of speed non-linear attacks are still causing her trouble.
That references Sakura from EP2 so your point is moot. Furthermore, databook references one's base speed and doesn't refer to shunshin or any enhancements.According to the databook she is still below Genin like Lee/Neji and sasuke (without curseseal) in terms of speed. She also scores the same speed as part 1 naruto (without kyuubi cloak).
So unlesss she is getting a full 1 point in speed increase (i'd personally say 0.5 increase) she still isn't on par with the Genin Blitzers of part 1.
