I'm glad to see you are focusing on improving your response time. Unfortunately hitting live servers serving dynamic content in 5 locations is never going to be able to beat 100,000 edge-cached nodes in 75 countries serving static content when it comes to response time and reliability.
According to the link you provided it looks like Pingdom reports VWO response times as:
VWO Slowest Average: 352ms
VWO Overall Average: 207ms
VWO Fastest Average: 45ms
According to Pingdom, Optimizely response times are:
Optimizely Slowest Average: 95ms
Optimizely Average: 65ms
Optimizely Fastest Average: 19ms
Here is a head-to-head comparison of Optimizely vs. VWO including response time and feature differentiation: http://i.imgur.com/BRTxC.png

You are right we don't currently offer ancillary features like heatmaps and usability testing. We've been focused on offering the best possible experience for A/B and multivariate testing.
