It wasn't a little bit, though. Jaws/Bruce was lagging behind by more than a boat's length. Basically at the tip of the boat's wake, too. Quite a ways behind. The crew at the time wasn't worried that he was fast, they were worried about putting too much pressure on the engine, which they did, which resulted in it blowing out.
