speed excercises


I've recently got into heavily excercising my speed (mostly alternate picking)..my picking hand could use some chops, it's slow and often can't keep up with my left hand. Can you guys suggest me riffs to practice?

currently, I'm trying (hard) to master these three riffs:

Master Of Puppets (the really fast part played on frets 1-4 on the two low strings)
Through the Never (pretty easy, I almost do it at normal speed)
Survivor (yes, the Destiny's Child song...go ahead and laugh, but that is pretty freakin hard)

now, I also wouldn't mind being able to play fast downpicking, and if you guys know other techniques to improve speed, please share!

Thanks a lot
