I've played and umpired for years and I think it speeds up the game considerably. I personally don't like to hit with 2 strikes on me and no coutesy foul so the first one that's close to a strike and I'm swinging.
But that's the misconception of many council members. It is not a speed-up rule. Quite often, the games are about the same time, but more runs are scored within that period.

We just want to get the $300 bats off the batter's shoulders.
