Wing to Fuselage Placement

[Rik-]

I've noticed that there are High Wings, Low Wings and a "Mid Wing" and it seems for some reason that the Mid Placement Winged planes are faster than the other two mounting styles.

Why is this? Why would installing the wing in the middle (side) of the fuselage produce a faster aircraft?
