Why not go with cherry or something liek that?
Cherry is lighter than yew, and more stiff per mass ... I would venture to say would be slightly faster as well.
Other than that I got nothing ....

Yeah, I like cherry a lot. Looks good under clear glass too.
I have some yew for lams, but you ain't gettin it
Yew isnt necessarily wasted under colored glass. It's a good core wood either way... but if it was especially pretty, I would save it for use under clear glass or for use as the belly of a tri-lam or something similar.

the yew is a request from a buddy--I prefer red elm as a core
my point was they can be plain looking--with colored glass

Rosewood archery products. I just recieved some yew lams a few weeks ago from him. Very nice lams and a good guy to deal with. Had them to my house in 4 days.
