Used to shoot sports back in uni, circa 2008 (Just amazing how much things have changed since then).
IIRC, the pro lenses (white Canons) focused faster as a result of them letting more light in, as well as having
faster motors (USM), though mid-range lenses had these as well.
Around that time, the body also made a big difference since the 1D-series had ~45 AF points, and the lower and mid-range bodes had 9-20 AF points. Not sure if this is still relevant but I think even low end bodies have a ton of AF points these days.
