Nagato was fast despite being partially crippled. A healthy Nagato would, logically, be faster. The fact that he was able to keep up with KCM1 Naruto and Bee in this weakened state speaks volumes.

Squinty mentioned either in this thread or another, that Nagato was lying down covered in Amaterasu whilst Naruto and Itachi had a whole conversation about Sasuke's vengeance against the village, Kotoamatsukami, and Shisui's past. Nagato's reaction and movement times were abysmal when he was edo because he was essentially in "auto-pilot".

Nagato literally had an entire technique that allowed him to monitor the entire Rain village, and the moment Jiraiya stepped into Amegakure's rain, he detected him. A healthy non-edo Nagato would have seen and evaded a gigantic susanoo and sword with his Rinnegan eyes, rest assured.
