Ali and Holmes certainly had faster jabs, but not harder jabs. Louis, Liston, Foreman, and Lewis are more comparable. IMO the reason Klitschko's jab has been less effective is because he has fought two awkward lefties in a row. His jab was reasonably sharp against Byrd, Brewster, and Brock. When he fights Povetkin his jab should be a major factor. If it isn't, then you may be on to something.
Povetkin is his mandatory contender, and it's a big fight in Germany, so I think it is a safe assumption if Povetkin gets through his tuneup fight this month.
