She's not too fast but she might be too cold.

Loudspeakers known as "fast" sounding give me the same feeling that Hilary Hahn does. Fast speakers hesitate just a bit less in the attacks and the sustains in the microdynamic domain. In the same manner, Hahn's fiddling technique produces a fast and clean sound owing to the character of the micro transitions during her bow movements. And possibly, bowel movements too. I think that Heifetz probably had slightly better control of the bow than Hahn does, retaining or perhaps *producing* just a bit more tonal "warmth" during harried bow movements.
