They all gave you great hints, i wanted to tell you something about how I resolved your same problem! The problem often is not to play the chords fast enough, but to play them regularly and fast.
My teacher adviced me to work on different rhytms and also on giving different accents from the written ones – just to study, of course. E.g. the written accents in the Waltz of flowers cadenza are just on the right thumb, but a great way to make it more regular is to study adding an accent on the left thumb. Or another problem you may have could be the third and the fourth, because they are more difficult to move separately. Then you should study giving an accent on the third note of every arpeggio.
Another advice could be to study slowly. The speed you can reach with relaxed arms is very higher, but to play fast keeping your arms and shoulders relaxed is one of the most difficult things to do. Try to play slowly, but paying attention to keep your arms loosed playing every note. I’m sure you will get better in no time!
P.S: it is a really old edition, but I found the Bochsa studies op 318 also here, they are really useful
