From my irl experience I can only say that the shorter the weapon, the faster you can use it. BUT as I said a thousand times before, it's impossible to be 100% realistic in Minecraft because in reality you never have to hit an enemy multiple times to kill or disable him, you only have to hit him once. The hard thing is to get through the enemy armour and cover. Well, I never fought with armour, so I can't say anything about that, but to get through the enemy cover, speed is helpful to trick out the enemy with feints and hit him where he doesn't expect it.

All in all I'd say it's good as it currently is because with enough tactic reach is more important than speed. The dagger is still no weapon I find very useful. In MvP I only use daggers to take out archers.
