Speed depends of the connection.
wuftpd is a good choice

This FTP daemon, originally from the Washington University of St. Louis,
is a powerful, and widely used replacement FTP server for Unix systems.
The FTP protocol is a method of transferring files between machines on
a network and/or over the Internet.

Besides fully supporting the FTP protocol defined in RFCs 959 and
1579 (and others), it adds the following features:
o logging of transfers,
o logging of commands,
o on the fly compression and archiving,
o classification of users on type and location,
o per class limits,
o per directory upload permissions,
o restricted guest accounts,
o system wide and per directory messages,
o directory aliases,
o cdpath,
o filename filter,
o virtual host support (similar to the Apache HTTP server).

I don't think that there are significant speed differences among various FTP servers, at least in regard of their core functionality. Performance issues are rather influenced by overall system resources, server load, etc.

Benchmarking results will also depend on the task at hand and the features available in the FTP server and the clients. You can gain speed by giving up on security, in which case speed will only lead you into trouble much faster.
