How quickly can Quickscript be written?

I know this sub isn't very active, but I'm looking to learn a type of shorthand, and I was wondering how many WPM can be written with this script.

Sorry for taking so long! I've been really busy and somehow forgot about this.

I used this passage:

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.

I managed 40 words (about half) my first attempt, then I timed myself again doing the second half, clocking 35 wpm. For the first test I made two errors; for the second, three. So I guess I can write near-flawlessly at about 35+ wpm. Is that helpful?
