I was slicing onions this morning and shaved some skin off without cutting myself.
Also... I could slice the onion really thinly and then when chopping it I only had to chop a given piece once. I was cut the first time
Also, I knew where the knife was sharpest cause I knew how I had sharpened it. I know that the next time I sharpen I can get the knife sharpest where I like to chop or cut with it the most.
Also... with the knife being sharp, you begin to see how the size and the design of the knife, whether it has some rock to it or whether it is a straight blade effects how you perform a particular cutting task. If you can find the right combination of deathly sharpness with a size and design and weight of knife that best fits what you are trying to do... you will in fact speed up.
Because it will feel comfortable and natural to you.
I hope I am making sense
