Yes, because, being a skilled duelist, he wasn't looking to just swing his lightsaber as fast as possible. He was looking to, and succeeded, in overwhelming Kenobi's defenses with an overwhelming barrage of precisely placed and unpredictable attacks:It was enough to overwhelm the defenses of a dude who could defend himself from the surrounding blaster-fire of ten thousand droids attacking simultaneously.
What's Bane deflecting rain or scaling above Rhen Var supposed to prove?
Are you fvcking brain dead? Raskta Lsu struck Bane half a dozen times in the chest in the time it took him to run less than two meters. Doing the math, her being capable of 20 strikes per second is an incredibly conservative estimate, it may well be over 30 times a second. Keeping in mind that Lsu was striking for Bane's weak points the entire duel. Bane is already the most masterful combatant of his era and is bulldozing Zannah, herself described as an impenetrable Soresu master.
Point being, Grievous striking 20 times a second isn't as impressive as you believe it to be.
Revan is far more powerful than Orbalisk Bane and Raskta Lsu, by all comparisons.
Dueling is reliant on speed /Strength/Skill.
Revan no doubt-idly has the speed advantage on Grevious, as he is limited by being non force efficient. And by feats of contending with Malak on the star forge, and dodging Vitiates Lightning bolts.
Strength wise, Revan could compete with Marr, and the hero of tython at the same time in physical combat, indicating his strength would be able to contend with Grevious's cybernetics.
And i'd give the skill to Revan.

By all comparisons he's inferior. Darth Revan had knowledge Bane wouldn't even dare to use and couldn't comprehend. Bane's greatest source of knowledge was Revan's holocron which he deemed vastly greater than everything he'd learned from the Brotherhood, including Kas'im's technique. [/B]
So Darth Revan > mid-PoD Bane in knowledge? Cool story bro

Even if Revan still had more knowledge than RoT/DoE Bane it would come from the fact that Bane had to scour the galaxy for scraps of knowledge. That doesn't really tell us much about their dueling abilities.
Their force power does, force power = higher physical amplification=better duelist.

Revan: I am here.
Grievous: Prodigal Knight Revan, you should have said, 'Hello there'.
[Revan puffs his chest out]
Revan: Spare me of your empty words.
Grievous: Fool! I have been trained in your Jedi arts by lady Kreia.
[Grievous looks at Revan's face]
Grievous: Your mask will make a fine addition to my collection.
Revan: Over your dead body.
Grievous: Prodigal Knight Revan, you are a bold one.
