Even if the speed still doesn't match up/exceed that of 12 NiMh cells, think of it this way: speed requires power. Your Emoli pack can deliver a maximum of about 720W (peak), and your IB3800 cells should be able to do 1200W peak. I'm somewhat amazed that the difference was that small, 500W is a lot!
