I think your question is could you get more mileage out of different limbs without going up megapounds?

It is certainly the case that pound for pound some limbs are faster than others. I shoot SF SHC because I am a lightweight and I read somewhere that their thinner width compared to other limbs gives them the equivelent speed of limbs two pounds heavier (I believe some border limbs are also thin profile). I am not sure how true it is because I have done no objective testing, but they certainly feel as if they shoot much faster (and smoother) than the Challenger carbon they replaced and seam much easier to draw.
