Dread definitely seemed to be faster. I couldn't be sure and the internet wasn't exactly helpful. A bunch of people insisted that Paris Prime got a speed buff too and I was an idiot foor thinking otherwise, despite it not being in the patch notes, so I fumbled together a far from perfect little test.

Basically to remove as much human error as I could, I created a macro that, would generate a system auido chime, hold the fire key to draw the bow for 3 seconds, and then release it. I equipped both bows with the Thunderbolt for clear impact audio at range and ran a mission repeatedly until I got the same room where I could fire from the same corner a the same wall mark, synced it up and measured times from firing to impact and took the averages.

Paris Prime: .637 sec

Dread:  .519 sec

So as far as that goes dread's full charge arrows seems to be ~20% faster.
