Speed of thought isn’t really a measurement that can be made. We can measure the time it takes to receive an outside stimulus and the time it takes to react to that stimulus. We can also check how long it takes to solve certain kinds of problems, but you’ll have to be more specific about what problems to identify parts of the brain associated with that specific kind of question.

Movement is complex and requires several parts of the brain. The two that are probably the most noteworthy is the motor cortex in the telencephalon and the cerebellum, but to say it’s only those two structures would be a gross oversimplification.
