well *of course* the goal was not to slow down actual production of text, but this does not imply the method by which "speeding up by preventing jams" was to be achieved was not by slowing down the physical process of pressing keys.
That wasn't the method, though -- the method was to ensure that frequent letter pairs were separated in the type basket, so that they were less likely to collide with each other when used in quick succession.
