Does a stronger (new) mainspring make for faster lock-time, or slower ?

Am considering that a stronger spring mainspring will resist toggle opening more, tending to slow down the cycle, but that it will also cause faster bolt closing, tending to speed up the cycle.

So, would a stiffer spring make for faster, slower, or the same cycle time ?
