Interesting, I have a few friends who were formerly EMTs and when I spoke to some former paramedic acquaintances, they seemed to believe the speed bumps were detrimental in certain specific medical cases, things like cardiac arrest and aortic aneurysms.

I'm in SoCal and some of these neighborhoods are just full of speed bumps, so maybe it's all of those seconds adding to minutes? Also there are different types of speed bumps, some don't slow you down at all and others you go 5mph and feel like you're ruining your suspension. Or maybe there's some other confounding factor? Do you only have a few where you live?
