printing with 0.6 nozzle is slower than 0.4?

Hi,

just noticed that the estimated print time with a 0.6 nozzle is longer than if I choose the 0.4 nozzle when using IS. If I choose the non-IS printer profile, the 0.6 nozzle times are shorter than for 0.4, which is what I would expect (and experienced with my MK3).

I have not yet tested any 0.6 prints so I don't know if it's just a PrusaSlicer issue. Or perhaps IS doesn't really work for 0.6 nozzles?

It's about maximum volumetric speed (0.4 IS speeds are already close to the limit of the hotend/std. nozzle). Also small objects needs more cooling with 0.6 nozzle.
