Yes, higher speed settings I reckon also.
Here is an interesting comparative reference which is quite relevant.

Bandsaws have to have the correct settings and blades as a machine tool class, because otherwise they will throw the blade.
I once had a terrible time with a bandsaw trying to saw up a radial car tyre, I could not get the right combination, and it threw the blade persistently until we sped it right up and took the cut very slow.
