Actually, the opposite. When loaded, an undamped spring will compress the fastest, and the damper is slowing that down. Too much low speed compression will cause the car to take longer to settle into steady state cornering.

From most of the plots I've seen you kind of need a 3-way to go too far on the low speed comp. Lot of the more inexpensive and 1-way shocks don't have much going on down there.
