Faster at 30 degrees? Yea. You're not going through as much material (hardwood) and once the nail hits the subfloor it goes faster because the material is softer...and going through less material at that angle.
I think you misunderstood. I meant a 90 degree angle would be straight down into the floor and a 0 degree angle would be parallel to the floor and never penetrate the subfloor. 60 degrees (not 30) is faster for me, which is going through more subfloor, but I am pre-drilling the board and not the subfloor, so I am not sure which material requires more actual force.

That's up to you.
If it were up to me, it would not hurt anything. Unfortunately, it is not up to me. I don't want to find floorboards coming up next year because I used a steeper angle.
