It depends on how much effort you put into it. While one's body will adjust to the load cycling puts on it, that doesn't mean that one cannot increase the effort put in to compensate.
The commute will become shorter due to increased speed, but that doesn't stop one from putting in more effort to maintain an even higher speed.

Here in the city, I can’t get close to my (low) top speed because I hit a res light every block or two. When I used a suburban trail, it was mixed-use, so I had to go even slower to navigate safely around pedestrians and potholes.
