Whoa dude. Everyone has a different learning curve which is also dependent on exposure to events (some pilots never have an issue and have easy flying for the first 1000 hours). Some learn slower but deeper and others learn faster and sometimes stop learning at a shallow level so faster does not necessarily mean better.
Most Captains (at least the good ones) think that upgrading at 1000 hours is f'n crazy.
"This job just ain't really that hard." I guess you haven't had your "dark and stormy night" flight yet.....
