I experimented a little more and included my old silver basic, which I charge regularly, but no longer use. The results are:
1) Voyage vs Silver basic with buttons: Voyage is faster.
2) Voyage vs Black basic with buttons: about the same. The black basic has a little over 600 books on it.
3) Voyage vs Touch basic: Basic is faster. The touch basic has about 1000 books on it.
So it seems the Touch Basic is the fastest Kindle. It has the same processor as the Voyage, but lower resolution, and I think that's the reason its page turns are faster. Less pixels to redraw.
All in all, though, I like my new Voyage very much. It has a fabulous screen and excellent contrast. It will become my main e-reader from now on.
