I don't know, how useful would it be?  Do you feel you need it?  I 
have only a nodding familiarity with the new 3e, and it's been a long 
time since I've played 2e (and even then, we didn't use the speed 
factors), so I could be wrong about the impact, but I would think you 
could add the speed factors relatively easily if you really wanted 
them.

Combat is an abstraction.  With them isn't really all that greater in 
realism than without, but it does impinge upon some people's 
suspension of disbelief, and that's an important issue.  If it messes 
with what *you* think is the way it should be, than fix it.

 From what I understand, speed factors were removed to slim down the 
combat system and make it work quicker (along with only one init 
roll).  If that bugs you, go ahead and fix it.
