Actually they can move "that fast", as the new 1/800 sec Hassy H1

If you're smart, you consider them 1/250-sec-and-below cameras.  I
typically load my leaf-shuttered cameras with 100-speed or lower film for outdoors or use ND filters. But you have to live with the limitations of a leaf-shuttered camera if you're going to use one. They're VERY quiet, and
they synch flash all the way to their maximum speeds, which can be very
nice for fill-in-flash in the daytime.

Or 1/1200 sec on the Contax T3, but it has been radically redesigned from a traditional one. Probably the physical size of the opening is a major factor too.
