Just to add my experiences to Karen's, I use an arpeggio for a similar problem. Mine is to float the high note and join up the whole scale using d major as my 'home' scale. Starting on D I go 1/3/5/3/8/5/10/8/5/8/3/5/1
If I do this legato quickly and lightly and speed it up the only other thing I have to watch is that the vowel formation is the centre of attention and that no jaw tension is allowed to intrude. As I get this faster within the bounds of quality my over-all performance improves beyond belief. :) Not just my opinion.
