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.

The DA40 f2.8 Ltd pancake on a K-70 is very very quick.
