riding position???...a question for you all!

After my trackday at Cadwell i've been practising this "bumm off the seat" thing!
My confidence has gone up no end and I dont feel tense when cornering...I doubt the knee down thing will happen but that's by the by...
The thing is I feel sooooo slow, but yet at one point I looked down and I was exiting a corner way faster than I thought I was AND coming off a corner into a straight I looked down and I had topped a ton within a few secs (well quick anyway!)

Why do you feel so slow???...Why is it just by changing body position your whole "feel" for speed is "disabled". Is `this just me or is this normal? Or is this expected when you increase in confidence a "bit".
