I strongly advise you to not assume that just because an IPv4 address is "public" (which I'm reading as RFC1918) means that it's not NATed.

I learned the hard way that Tmobile, for one, squats on other organization's public IP space on their mobile network and NATs it to address space they are actually assigned. What you really mean is if your IPv4 is not NATed, then it should not "feel slow", the type of address isn't necessarily an indicator.
