I suspect, as long as the tires are rolling round enough, 30psi would actually roll pretty fast until you hit a pebble or a cigarette butt and got bucked off the bike.
Maybe on a glass velodrome. On normal pavement, no, the asphalt surface itself would be enough to give you suspension losses at 30 PSI.
