While the weight does not contribute to swing speed, he is right that the ancient nord hero, nord hero, and honed ancient nord greatswords swing slightly faster than the rest of them. I put a comment about it 3 years back on uesp, not sure why this is, but it means that after you smith it up and put some enchants on it, the dps is roughly the same as dragonbone. My guess is that it was a typo on one of them that got copied and pasted to the other two. Then there are the unique weapons like volendrung that swings like a greatsword, or longhammer that swings like a one-hand axe.
