Speed definetely matters, but not directly, it's more of a side-effect of taking the proper line. In order to take the most desirable line (touching the outsides and the apex) you have to build up enough speed to follow through with the corner. That's why it's considered a big deal if one person pulls away in a drift competition, or if one person is pushing really hard on the rear of another. It means the person going faster is using much better technique.
