Does disabling ping/icmp speed up scanning at the cost or accuracy?

No. In this particular case it will scan the remote host at the cost  
of determining wether the host is alive or not. If it's not alive,  
then the scan will slow down (a lot), otherwise there should not be  
any noticeable difference.
