Possibly. But the largest source of delay is probably your Internet
link, unless it's 10 Mbps or faster.
Some of the questions to answer about replacing the switches:
Do the separate switches pass traffic (e.g., printer) that stays in
their workgroup?
Are there any distance restrictions between switch 2 and 3?
Do separate switches help you distinguish between business units?
Is the required number of ports due to increase, so you need to
add capacity?
