What I gathered is pitch in a steering box is just like a screw pitch. So in a recirculating ball steering box, the pitch of 9mm or 10.5mm is how much the ball travels around from one crest of the thread to the other. My assumption is the 9mm pitch would be faster steering.

Good info. I put everything back in storage, I'll need to check the boxes next time.
