    The change of apparent brightness of the star would be the same, but the duration of the drop in brightness would be less.

    The faster a planet moves, the shorter the time it is in transit.

    Come on, you couldn't work that out for yourself...?

    The change of brightness will not be affected by the planet's speed, but the duration of the transit will.

    Faster planet = shorter duration.
