I need to work within the currently accepted rules of whatever digital eBook store I want to sell on. And, as it currently stands, as valid as <I> is, it's not accepted in ePub 3 by every eBook retailer. Sadly.
<em> is no faster then <i>. There's no difference between them. If your text is already using <i>, just let it be. There's nothing wrong with <i>.
