No, that's a common misunderstanding (especially amongst C-programmers).

What matters is designing und understanding the code, not writing it. I 
spend less than 10% of my time at work in actually _writing_ code, so 
even if someone can type in his/her code twice as fast, the maximum 
(s)he would gain would be five percent in overall performance.
