Drills that strengthen the legs, hips, core, chest, back, and shoulders should result in increased hand and arm speed.
Btw, you realize that hand and arm speed varies throughout the downswing, and maxes out well before impact in the kinetic chain sequence.
Shoulder torque is the main driver of arm and hand speed and your kinetic sequencing from the ground up must be correct to max out the speed.

My personal favorite...
One my most humiliating experiences, trying to master that mother.
What is the secret Mike?
Not Mike, but not really a secret. The speed bag bounces 3 times before hitting it again. Easy when you get in a rhythm.

Starting with the "right" equipment is key. Gotta have a good swivel (chain or speed bar), then learn on a medium or large size bag. Precise contact point on the hand is critical. Then you focus on the movement and timing of the hands rather than hitting the bag. The bag will always be were it should if you get the hands doing their job.
Working the sweetspot on a small bag into a continuous blur is like working a 4 iron into a tucked pin... difficult to do, can make you look silly, but it sure is fun when you do it right.

At least I knew that Homer's TGM Science Chapter 2 was FOSh... while you and others defended it ... in 2003-4.

I know this isn't speed necessarily, but...

I was not alone at the time; but had you then voiced your doubts I suspect you would have been.
Its easy to be wise after the fact as is evidenced daily in here.
