Not sure what this has to do with what we're discussing.

A transient event is simply an event that occurs for a relatively short period of time.
If I pluck the low E string on a bass guitar and just a moment later mute it with the palm of my hand, that would be a transient event. If I pluck the same string and let it ring on, that's not a transient event.
But in both cases, we're talking about a string that's vibrating at a fundamental frequency of about 41 Hz. And if the peak amplitude is the same in both events, then the string isn't moving any faster during one event versus the other. Neither would two diaphragms reproducing these two events.

It would mean, all else being equal, a driver able to reproduce higher frequencies. Because as I said previously, the driver's velocity only increases if you increase the amplitude or increase the frequency. So if two drivers, one with a lighter diaphragm, are able to produce the same frequency at the same amplitude, then there's nothing "faster" about the driver with the lighter diaphragm.

A transient event is closer to an instantaneous change in pressure, or closer to an infinite acceleration rate. The closer a driver can instantaneous pressurise and de-pressurise would mean a driver more able to overcome inertia, mass is a variable function of inertia
