I'm afraid you've got that one wrong, if you want the lens to focus as fast as the camera is able you need the largest aperture you can get. A 70-200 f2.8 wil leave a 70-210 f3.5 to f5.6 standing when it comes to low light photography, in fact it will probably leave it standing in all lighting conditions.
