It's not at all clear what you mean by the speed of a planet.

In terms of its speed of rotation, or the length of its 'day', Saturn is the second

fastest, just behind Jupiter.

Regarding its speed in orbit around the sun, Saturn is the 6th fastest planet in our

solar system. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and most of the asteroids, all

move faster in their orbits virtually all of the time than Saturn does, and several

comets do that for part of the time.
