Do lots of practice essays.  50 practice essays for Classics by hand in year 11 under timed conditions->1500 words per hour in year 12 by hand.

practice.

with practice you will know what you're going to say which = speed as you will begin repeating certain phrases/quotes etc.

I don't think it is directly the writing speed. Its more about the time to think of the correct words to use.

Probably true. I timed how long I would take to write a rote-memorized 800 word Point-of-view and it took 28 minutes.

Yeah, I never memorise pieces. 

I think writing speed on learned pieces doesn't matter so much, since it just tells you how quickly you can move your hand.  In contrast, speed on "fresh" pieces measures not only hand dexterity, but also how quickly you can "think" up sentences.   Not to detract anything from kyzoo or anything anyway (he actually can write quite quickly from what I've heard, though no first hand experience).

As a lot of people here have already mentioned, having a good idea of what you're writing definitely helps with speed. I find that when I write, my ideas evolve with the piece itself, but this doesn't detract from the speed - I just allow the sentences to spill out and mould one another. I generally write pretty quickly - I did 12 pages for my first English SAC - but I don't feel as though the free-form approach I take to creative pieces diminishes the quality - it's still easy to maintain structure.
