If a 0.4mm nozzle is 4x the area of a 0.2mm nozzle, should I print 4x faster with a 0.2mm nozzle?

Context - I think I’m having heat creep and printing too slow. (ender 3, pla 210c)

    Did you follow some guide when replacing the nozzle and bowden tube?

    No, it’s pretty intuitive so I just did it.

    Did you hot tighten it when putting them back?

    Yep.

    What speed are you printing at, which you think is too slow? What’s your acceleration?

    I was printing a speed test, the inbuilt one from Orca Slicer. Starts with a huge, slow brim, then low speed 10 layers, then slightly faster 10 layers, repeat until it fails.
