Kyo, test that theory...
... and I think you'll find out there's a reason for the martial arts axiom that "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."
Adrenaline tends to induce some herky-jerky movement, and while it might make you move slightly faster, it can also cause fumbling, pulling into snags, etc.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do when the adrenaline hits is purposely slow yourself down just a fraction.

Reason: idiom, axiom - who notices, anyway?
