Not always faster. Once a "warship" was hailing a cruise ship by name. It took at least 10 minutes to get a response. the warship directed the cruise ship to change direction, which it did -- to a collision course with me. Rather than hailing the cruise ship by name, I used DSC and got an immediate reply. Very fast and easy.
