Yes it's been confirmed that Zoom Poker, what pokerstars term as a "fast paced ring game product", exists, is in testing, and is slated for a late feb/early march Beta test. Nothing else has been made public.

Fast Moving Ring Games Product
Work continues on our fast moving ring games product. Dates and exact details of the public beta are still to be confirmed but it should be very soon. We have conducted successful private play tests, but there are still a few rough edges that need to be smoothed out before the product is ready for launch.

I was wondering how this was possible.

So just to clarify, if i play like a super nit, and fold 95% of my hands really fast ill be able to play more hands per hour? Do many people know this?

The more hands you fold fast pre, the more hands you can play per hour.
I would fold most hands fairly fast but never got much over 1200 hands per hour 4 tabling. I played from 13 11 to 12 10. If you fold 95% of hands then you can get more hands per hour,but may have a hard time making any money playing that tight.

With FT rush the speed also was effected by the limit you play becouse as the player pools got smaller you did not always get to the next hand instantly. I remember post black friday at 100nl FR which at which I was a reg until the site went down, in U.S peak time (with out U.S player) it started to get a bid slow as the player pool was a bid small.

Also the big blind slows you down, because you can't quick fold your BB and sometimes it felt like forever (a few seconds) for the table to fold around or someone to raise.

They did for rush, but not when it first came out, so maybe that will be the case here too?

Cash first by all accounts but I'd be surprised if you have to wait too long for tournaments to be added.

So this article says it's now public beta on the test site but only sometimes. I have the test site and see the Zoom button, but have yet to see it run.

Yeah me too. I see the 'ZOOM' button (in between the 'Other' and 'Tourney' tabs) but it doesn't seem to be running yet.
