I would say yes!
And also that many times strips have an even greater speed increase.
Our loader only uses TriangleStripArrays and it's geometry is as fast as
I've seen.
There are cases where Fans and Indexed geometry can be faster or have to
be used because of some run-time modification is going to be done but
generally strips are where it's at...
