What's harder the entertainer or Maple Leaf Rag?

Maple Leaf Rag is slightly more difficult to play than The Entertainer, for two main reasons. Firstly, the key signature of Maple Leaf Rag is harder than in The Entertainer. Secondly, the right hand has passages which require playing alternating octaves and single notes.

What speed should Maple Leaf Rag be?

Still much of Joplin's music would sound rushed if played fast but Maple Leaf just sounds better faster. The 112 bpm is a good lively pace. Somewhere between 110 and 120 always seems to be the pace I enjoy playing at without sounding too slow or too rushed.
