You cannot expect elliptic curve based encryption to be faster than RSA encryption. Signing and decryption may be faster than for RSA or DSA/ElGamal (but not necessarily when the platform is a PC or workstations and if the modular exponentiation implementation is reasonably well optimized), but it is hard to beat RSA public key operations with small exponents.
