No, not at all. In fact it was slightly slower than its main opposition, the Me109. However, the Spitfire was more maneuverable and had other features which its pilots appreciated to compensate for its slower speed.

Note: Although the Spitfire is most famous for the Battle of Britain, improved models of it were introduced which were faster and better; allowing the Spitfire to serve until the end of the war, and after the war in Korea and Malaysia.
