I don't necessarily think that is true.  I can hold a slower speed with the
Leicaflex any variety than I can with an R any flavor.  The flex has a
horizontal shutter running slower than the vertical of the R's.  The logic
of the slit making a difference would favor the faster running blades.

My personal opinion is that what matters is a smooth shutter release and
enough mass so that the mirror doesn't move the body much.  Oh, and a hand
eye coordination that doesn't start moving around just because you can't see
anymore.
