AI pilots are perfect. their engine don't overheat and their aircraft is always in perfect trim. Either turn off engine over heat in the difficulty settings or get smarter than the AI .

There are a bunch of reasons for your being slow. Trim, engine settings, too much maneuvering, etc.. You have to do some research on this and other forums to pick up information on how to be a better pilot.
