In blitz definitely. there is one small problem. If you move without
thinking your computers move is based upon 1 ply search perhaps,
which is not smart.

But against humans moving quickly definitely is good. you get only
in troubles against class A players and above, who usual feel the
psychological need to directly react a lot less.

but for anything under that level, i'm very sure that moving directly
is putting psychological a lot pressure on the opponent, till they get
used to it.
