I'm pretty sure when gaara gets older he'll have some new techinques that will make up for his lack of speed.

He's got that whole Sand cloud thing right now....that was kinda nifty...

Arena of sand. Sandy conditions inhibit movement. Why speed himself up if he can slow his opponent down?

Exactly. But what if there is no sand around?

It's in the manga. Gaara can create sand from his suroundings, taking minerals out of soil and such to create new sand.

Right but if he were to fight in an area like during the prelims against Rock it would be pretty tough with no soil around him. Or maybe with the pressure of the desert coffin he could crush up some pieces of stone into minerals.

It was a problem when he fought Lee.

what are u talking about, he had plenty of sand, the amount of sand was no problem, this is abserved as gaara won the match BY USING HIS SAND

I'd say Gaara can defeat a couple of jounins that are not from Konoha.

For real, the problem is that Lee could have killed Gaara in about 3 seconds, the whole problem is that Kishimoto seems against the use of high speed Taijutsu users to stab theire oponents, and from what I've seen there isn't a slow Jounin theire Gen/Tai/Ninjutsu ar above the Elit anbu, so no, Gaara wouldn't stand a chanse against a serius Jounin, if it was so it would just be ridicilous.
