Increase happy ghast speed to be faster than a player sprint jumping.

Currently, the happy ghast is far too slow. While some would argue that this slightly benefits building, I disagree that the speed should be kept slow to accommodate this. The current speed makes it's completely unworthwhile to consider using it as a transport method. It is slower then a sprint jumping player, so no one would chose it to use for exploration/transport.

Which in my opinion, is clearly one of Mojang's intentions of adding it, proven by the addition of the ability of being able to airlift large mobs and boats. Speaking of this new feature, I would consider it a great idea and a gamechanger if the happy ghast was not so slow. 

So in conclusion, the happy ghast is not a option worth considering for transport and exploration, and it's speed undermines the additions Mojang is continuing to add. How to fix this? Increase the speed to be faster than a sprint jumping player and ideally faster than a boat.

    What if it moved at a normal speed if it didn't have a harness equipped but sped up when it was. Almost as if it was spurred into action by the player. It does need to be sped up, otherwise the whole lifting with leads thing isn't really going to get used.

    Yeah and you should be able to do a speed boost by sprinting

    Happy ghasts aren't meant for transportation, however they should be at least as fast as a walking player.

    isn't there a "turbo mode" that already does this?
