Recently in a mayor presentation of upcoming product I saw slide talking about *"faster performance"*. Then in BBC article covering same event, they wrote about *"faster speed"*. 

Are these phrases considered correct in English? I'm coming from a language, where that would be considered pleonasm, and the only correct way is to say *"better performance"* and *"higher speed"*. Is that not the case in English?
