Actually, according to economic theory more people does not make the game faster
to make a pbem, you need the following inputs:
a biq to play
players to participate.
Now, since the biq is constant, you would actually have diminishing returns from adding more and more players, as the marginal product of players would decline (the math is a two factor product function. The first derivative of the biq is 0 since it is a constant, the first derivative of players is positive, but the second derivative of players is negative since the biq is a constant.
HAH!
