Commuting:Does Size Matter?

I am relatively new to commuting and am currently riding a '05 Cannondale 50/50 (17 miles one way) to work. The bike has 26x2.25 tires and a number of other commuters have commented on the tire size being to big. They are semi slick and my commute includes city streets, hills ,bike path gravel path w/ lost of pot holes etc. would changoing to a smaller tire size really make difference in speed? Currenlty I am average about 14mph and am carrying 20+ lbs in weight as I have to carry a full suit to work. Thanks!
