FWIW, my dd works and thinks very quickly. She gets frustrated when things don't happen quickly. She is not very good at drawing and her printing tends to be messy, so I don't think her processing speed score is simply a reflection of well-developed fine motor skills; it seems to be more related to having a brain that thinks quickly and races ahead. She's very good at math and doesn't tolerate boredom. She also is easily frustrated when she doesn't get everything easily the first time through. She's a high achiever in school, and she's also a talented athlete - I think the processing speed and working memory help with athletics because they allow her to think quickly, but I don't think being athletically talented helped her achieve high scores.

this describes my ds7, except his hand writing and drawing skills are ok. I have had hard time finding information online as well. We have been lucky K-1 grades, teachers have worked with him. This year it looks like we my have a problem, as he is not the child that will sit quietly if bored and I do not think his teacher is making any effort to work with him.
