Then do you change the slant?
It is more kind of crosspicking with a slightly downwoard pickslant.
It feels like my whole arm is involved in the movement, even the shoulder for the string tracking.
I watched this vids from Chris Thile where he speaks about staying loos in the in the entire arm with no ankering and this is more or less how i do the alternate picking version.
Normaly i would anker, especialy with distortion; this feels different.
Watch from about 3:10
In this vid. from about 4:25, you can see how he involves the whole arm in the picking motion

I managed to go even a bit faster with the alternate picking version including some very small thumb movements.
It feels like everything is working together now: shoulder/elbow for string trackin, loose arm/wrist motion, and small thumb movements for extra precision.
