Almost all the Spits were actually quite slow (at all heights as well) compared with what they fought and quite poor accelerators. The P51D and the 190's have much better acceleration and top speed at all heights.
You'd probably be also shocked that the main ground attack aircraft used by the RAF in 1944/45 was the Spitfire IX.
