Yes; the more powerful in the Force someone is, the greater their Force augmentation is, and the faster they are in combat.Plus, in terms of physics, the more force something moves with (the stronger it is), the faster/easier it is to change another object's speed.
That means a fully-fed Nihilus is abnormally fast. 🙂
The reason lightsaber skill isn't the same as Force augmentation is because, to win a lightsaber duel, you have to put your lightsaber in the right place at the right time.
Sidious has both better Force augmentation and better skill than Maul; his lightsabers were always in the right place.
But strong as he had become, Maul found himself in awe of Sidious. The Sith Lord was astonishingly fast and efficient, and the Force flowed through him effortlessly. His sabers stabbed and slashed through the smallest hole in an opponent’s guard, his movements never carried him a millimeter out of position, and he could sense every attack Maul and Savage made before it developed.
Yoda and Mace have more skill than Maul, and Sidious is their equal in lightsaber skill.
