With respect to tempo and tempo that is too fast for comfort, don't overlook that you don't necessarily have to play every eighth note on the lead sheet. You can block out the melody into landing notes that you can handle. Fill in the blanks (passing notes and runs) in time.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't put a premium on speed if I were playing the blues. Stevie Ray already done that. No point in running it into the ground.
