Default Bandsaw speed

I have a Griz 14" bandsaw with riser. Nearly all I do is cut out bowl
blanks from green, wet wood, average thickness 5-6 inches. I use
Timber Wolf 3/8" blades 3 tpi. Now for the question. I have always
run it on the low blade speed. Has anyone used the high speed for
such work? It is wired for 220 and never really bogs down on the low
speed but was wondering there is any advantage of a faster blade speed.
