No. All weapons in their "type" swing at the same speed (surprised that isn't common knowledge by now, but then it can be hard to tell visually). Swords have a swing speed of "1" (that is, 1 swing per second). Axes have 0.9, maces have 0.8, all great-swords have 0.7... Interestingly, battle axes ALSO have a swing speed of 0.7 (and with slightly more damage and stagger effect...), but warhammers finish the pattern with a speed of 0.6. (Daggers have a speed of 1.3 BTW)
