Title may say everything, but you don't say much. What do you mean by turtle speed? Digging speed, movement speed, what? I think the turtles, since they are both blocks and entities, can't go super fast. Since they have to move to the next location, change to a block, then move again, change to a block, and so on. Not usre how this could be sped up.

This sounds great testing build scripts and quarry scripts for bugs takes ages at normal speed.

I would suggest a separate configure for creative and survival so you can have it legit in survival and fast in creative for testing.
One slight probblem. it turtle moves away from player faster than player moves you will never be able to catch and Ctrl + T it.

possible solution build a satellite relay wifi kill switch into the program you are testing. or a EMP block that can shutdown any computers / turtles in range. < for creative only
