Speed difference at 90 rpm between 30/32 and 30/34 is less than .5 mph. Like others have said, not much difference there, but combined with a smaller chainring, you could ride much steeper (and slower) while maintaining a decent cadence. I regularly ride up 12-13% grade switchbacks with 24/32 combo, which is slow, but quite easy.
