First of all, getting really high speeds is easy to do with 9.5mm steel and a long draw. Your 115cm draw is ok, but consider extending a bit, lets say to about 125-130cm, and you'll see good speeds with very little draw weight.
Now, what is important is to establish a consistent technique, so practice at the draw length you enjoy the most, not the draw length you think would be more accurate.
For a 115cm draw length, a 0.60-0.70 thick latex, with an active length of 24.5cm, tapered 15/10 will be very fast. I would personally taper about 13/10.
In theory the most fps can be achieved with the thinnest possible elastic, as it will have the fastest retraction speed. But theory and practice is not exactly the same, although equally important.
If you really like speed, shoot 3/4 butterfly, it's a nice compromise between full butterfly, which is a bit fiddly for me, and the shorter draw lengths.
