Not sure what you mean. I would say “no”, in theory “I am not conscious” can also bring a speed-up, despite being obviously consistent, like PA with “I am inconsistent”. The speed-up is proved by constructive diagonalisation, and is thus non-intuitive, except we can imagine than being aware of one’s consciousness might help to planning, especially in an environment habited by conscious entities. Consciousness is *the* speed-up mechanism. It makes us thinking using model, semantic, meaning, instead of living the syntactical relation at some low level. Meaning is easier than proof, even if it can be misleading for individuals, it gives sense to sense, and priorities to higher goal, like surviving.
