You're ignoring that Silver Chariot is extremely precise and that its precision is separate from its speed. It can see those kinds of trajectories at just a glance, hence why it knows how to move to intercept Hanged Man. It's not all about speed. Combine that with Jojo's tenancy for visual hyperbole, and the scene is easily understood as Polnareff being very precise and very fast, but certainly not light speed.

King Crimson is notably slower than Silver Chariot. I don't know how this is even debatable. We see a crippled Chariot move faster than King Crimson. We know that King Crimson did beat Polnareff at one point but we can't use that as proof of anything because we never see the fight.
