Default auto focus speed, body vs. lens

I'm just curious since I only own (1) camera body, the Xsi, What has more effect on the aquasition (sp?) of focus, the lens or the camera body itself. I realise that there will be a big difference in focusing speed between say a 50mm prime and 100-400mm zoom, but will a higher end body increase the autofocus speed. I also realise that conditions will also affect the ability of the camera to focus, but all things being equal will a 50D or a MKII aquire focus faster than my 450D ?....like I said, just curious.
