If you could punch at the speed of light no one would be able to block you. However, you better condition your fist well to be able to withstand such a shock.

Speed is extremly important. But don't stress the technique and go sloppy.
All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

If it works, use it
Speed is obviously very important, you need to be fast enough to block punches and kicks and also fast enough to release punches and kicks quickly making them harder to block. In mantis (and most other forms of MA too I'm sure) power is also very important, what's the use of being fast if you don't have the power to knock someone down?

In a situation(or fight), time is very important..Your reflex should take over and all the years of training should come natural without really having to think about what your going to do.
Training to be quick is a good idea, because your opponent isn't going to wait for you.
I've seen it in boxing,karate,and my kung fu.
Speed can determine weather you win or lose.

If you practice with proper form and technique, then speed will come. Practicing with the focus on speed will cause bad form.
