Yes, but that does not mean that Waiting should negate the bonuses from a speed advantage. Waiting does not necessarily mean that you successfully anticipate how your opponent is going to move (which Deathstroke seemed to do in the comic page which I assume you are refering to). Also as I understand it (and which that comic page seems to support with the "but he's quicker where it counts" statement), even if he can't run as fast as Wally West, Deathstroke is also superhumanly fast in his ability to pull of such feats.
If you somehow predict how your opponent is going to move and if your timing is good enough (perhaps due to having something like Enhanced Time Sense), it would be entirely reasonable be able to stap someone no matter how fast he is.
However if you can't predict how your opponent is going to move and especially if your opponent adjusts his movements based on what you do, then being much faster would reasonably give a huge advantage to your opponent regardless of whether you are willing to Wait or not.
