I've wondered if a different lens with internal focus control, like the sigma or the Pentax 18_135 would work much better.

Faster focusing motor will help.  The 18-135 is not a fast focusing lens.  I did see faster focusing from Sigma HSM lenses compared to Tamron screwdrive on my K30 that I previously owned.  On newer camera bodies that supports it, the Pentax PLM 55-300 is supposedly the fastest focusing lens for Pentax Kmount.
