Ämne: Bigger board, faster game?

What happens when the Cancellors and Archbishops are traded off, leaving regular pieces and two additional pawns on a bigger board: are such games likewise faster than chess, or slower by the fact of a larger arena with more pawns? If faster, to what can this speed be attributed, to the greater difficulty of protecting opposite sides of the board, or some other aspect? /Fx/
