This is exactly the problem. Assuming that a security fix is uploaded to 
 stable and unstable at the same time (the usuall case), testing will 
get that fix a *minumum* of two days later.

The time it takes to move a package from unstable to testing is 
controlled by the priority that the maintainer gives it (high = 2 days, 
medium = ? days, low = 10 days).
