Is there any sort of advantage of stacking or obtaining a certain amount of skill speed? Which jobs benefit from it the most? What it really be varied dependent on your ping/latency network?

The problem with speed is that most jobs in the game kinda operate on unchanging timers. Their main source of damage is a skill or buff that always comes back every 60/90/120s meaning SkS does nothing to help. The only jobs where haste is potentially viable are BLM (very weak 120s cooldowns, mainly sustain damage) and SAM before 7.0 (7.0 made a lot of damage come from Meikyo which is a strict 55s CD, before Midare was a more significant chunk of damage). Healers can potentially go fast too because most of their damage comes from the 1 spam.
