[SI-LIST] Re: Speed Limit for dual stripline diff pairs?

At first blush, the propagation speed is purely a function of the material 
surrounding the trace. See our article on Propagation Times on our web site.
In general, microstrip traces are "faster" because the effective relative 
dielectric coefficient of the material surrounding the trace is lower (see 
the article).

If you start to consider capacitive loading of devices, conformal coatings, 
etc., the issue can get more complicated.
