They are in theory, you're basically leveraging high skill against penalties to hit to gain speed of hitting. These various additional options can increase the effect.

Ultimately there are several ways in GURPS for the highly skilled to leverage their skill beyond just be likely to hit with basic skill.

As McAllister points out, what's going to be the most efficient is going to be a factor of each's combatants stats.
