Depends on the edge you're getting. Of course, playing a small edge on VP is risky, since variance is pretty high. And if you're playing with a small edge on VP, in my opinion, you shouldn't be focused on speed -- you should be focused on accuracy. I play fast, I know I give up some of my edge to the house because of this, but I'm OK with that, since I'm only playing if I get a pretty decent edge (at least 2-3%....but usually 5-9%).
