I don't really care about going any faster. 8 hours to get from Europe to North America is fine with me. The problem I find flying is comfort. Since the 60's it's got a lot worse. It seems every year they cram the seats closer together and make the entire experience worse. As a tall - but not that tall - person (6ft1") flying can literally be painful if I don't get an isle seat. Obviously the issue is people want to fly cheaply. A good solution might be to introduce a new 'mid-tier' class between economy and business. I would happily pay an extra 10-20% for an extra bit of space.
