Yeah - someone should do an experiment with a streamlined cork to see what types of speeds we can attain! I assume a cork that is in a ball type shape, with air pumped into the center could acheive some dramatic speeds!

Probably not, unless you used a really big cork. Small objects won't go as fast as large ones, because their ratio of surface area to volume (which, for similar structures, more or less corresponds to a friction to weight/buoyant force ration) is bigger for small things.
