I really like the weapons speeds from 2e. However, much like THAC0, it is cumbersome.... That said, I would like to see something like:
if you are using a weapon that is one size category smaller than you (light weapon) (human w/short sword), then you receive a +2 initiative bonus when using that weapon. Weapons of your same category (human longsword = 0) and Large would be a -2.
This shows the speed of smaller weapons without every weapon having it's own speed rating. It helps the smaller weapons become more viable without all the extra calculation.
