If you're really using squeeze keying, it will make a big difference at
any speed. If you make a C, for example, by just squeezing both paddles,
that's squeeze keying.  But if you are used to sending 'single lever
style' (even though you have a double-lever paddle) and you make a C by
moving your hand back and forth, then you probably won't notice the
difference.
