Can certain pirates run faster than others?

[Poison elf]

The past history of this has been demonstrated by the Internet connection. So when a pirate was created I think has nothing to do with it.

If you took a high speed connection versus a dial-up connection it may be likely you see the fast speed of connection running faster, reacting faster, while slower connections are hanging up more, lagging. This all depends on what filters the game has though.
