Lets be honest here: Even I don't think PoD Bane is even close to Yoda. And PoD Bane was beating Kas'im through sheer power advantage. Yoda would beat Kas'im fairly hard.
But...Kas'im is "maybe the greatest swordsman ever", and this takes place after TOR, which has the HoT and Malgus, who we all know would crush Yoda. And this isn't even factoring in the deity that is Tulak Hord.
I am just keeping it real here Han, even though Kas'im probably rivals or is a better swordsman than Yoda he is still woefully outmatched by Yoda's power and can't keep up with him, so his skill as a swordsman is obsolete.
Bane (who at the time already had the better speed and general Force use feats to his name, as well as being physically far bigger and stronger than Yoda) had such a significant advantage over Kas'im largely because he basically knew his techniques inside out (as Kas'im did his) where it basically rendered their respective technique irrelevant and became a contest of their strength in the Force and physical abilities alone. Yoda would not have those same advantages.
Yoda's really not that fast; he's fast and he's small and he's agile and he performs lots of fancy acrobatic manoeuvres that alltogether create the illusion that he's faster than he actually is. Bane has at times moved so quickly that he appears practically invisible to the eyes of trained Force Users. He was able to down Sirak with a rather elaborate combination and it took all of the Sith in attendance time to register what had even happened. This was still around halfway through his training by the point of his fight with Kas'im. All this for a monster of a man who's primary physical attributes were his strength and size no less.
Yoda is faster than an enhanced Dooku who, without an enhancement, can product multiple afterimages, fight in blurring motions, fight faster than Kenobi (who is faster than Qui-Gon Jinn, who can move in blurs). He's faster than Anakin who has moved limbs faster than thought without any training in the force and who almost encased himself with blurring light. He's faster than Maul who can produce ''webs'' out of his lightsabers blurrings and run invisibly fast. He's faster than Mace who can generate afterimages infront of Kar Vastor.
