A road bike will be quicker, but a simpler alternative may just be to buy a spare set of wheels (built as road rims on MTB hubs) and run normal road tyres. Gearing will be a little odd, but it should do what you need without great expense.
Only PITA is lack of mudguards on an MTB - rear guard can be bodged, but fitting full guards to a sus fork would be a challenge..!

Road is about 15-20% faster than a slick MTB over moderately hilly terrain.
Nonsense!

can be done - you just need smart light brackets and some injinuity + mount to rear of the arch
do not do it if you use the bike off road though , sticks become lethal

there are a couple locked up at work with them.
Why do you want guards anyway? You're not going to ride at a rate so slow you don't have to change clothes anyway are you?
