Does skip tooth chain cut faster?

A skip chain has fewer cutting teeth than a conventional chain which means it won't be dragging as many teeth through the wood you're cutting. Less drag on the chain means less power is needed to cut through the log. That means the motor on your saw runs faster which keeps it in a more efficient power curve.
