The change isn't to the top speed, it's to mis-configured time signals that forced trains to slow to a crawl unnecessarily.
In this article (which you probably also won't be able to read, sorry; try incognito?), the Times explains why some mis-configured time signals are the cause of many delays, with compelling evidence to back up the claim.

Plus how often is an entire line backed up because the operator didn't crawl slowly enough past that misconfigured signal, so the emergency brake got triggered and additional action had to be taken to get the train moving again (release from dispatch? crew sent out?), causing thousands of people systemwide to be "delayed because of a signal problem at 14th St" or whatever?
