Yes, you can print faster. Besides a capable filament and printer, you need to account also for the intensive tunning. In my opinion, the critical issue is the purpose. For example, higher speeds can easily hinder aesthetics, accuracy and strength.
-
Different filament materials require distinct print settings, which result in different print times. This happens with typical filament materials and even with varying colours of the same material and brand. These differences can be even higher if you account for the novel derivatives and composite filaments.

I think that you meant the highest melt index. If so, and only referring to my filaments, BL PLA. I always look for this info, yet many filament suppliers do not supply this technical specification, so it is hard to establish a fair comparison.
The comparison is even more challenging for the maximum volumetric speed, as besides the filament, you need to account for the printer’s ability to extrude and cool down material, for which high-end extruders, hotends, nozzles, etc., exist and users mods and tunning have a significant effect.
A way to find out would be by a contest.
