Sure you might slow down, but as you get better your speed will pick back up.
I wouldn't attribute it to that because my power output wasn't something I can't maintain (using a power meter) and I was in 34 / 28 on a 10% gradient.
It's so hard because some say raise it (but then lower saddle why would that cause tipping off one side as opposed to a higher saddle?) And some say lower it, but the knees defenitly don't like any lower it seems.
