Very much so.
The speed of the First Fleet was important because, being so long at sea, careful calculation and rationing of supplies had to be carried out. Even though the fleet stopped for a month at several ports along the way, fresh foods would quickly go off in the sea air and humidity, so they had to make as much headway as they could on good food, before resorting to the dried, long-lasting foods.
There was also a limit to how much fresh water they could carry. Once they put out at sea, there was no way to restock fresh water.
