i think you shouldn't store the speed up trigger as an array of booleans per particle. before you set that data, even if you start with some data in an array, you need to use the statistics nodes turn that array into a proper per particle value which represents your logic for speeding up. is it an average of that array which makes a guy speed up? is it the minimum?
