FPDW - Not keeping inside straight draws?

Good morning fellow gamblers. Yesterday when I was out grinding, the guy next to me mentioned that he has a friend that doesn't keep inside straight draws in order to clock more hands per hour playing 100.76% DW.
Could somebody run the numbers on this and see what this would decrease the payback percentage to, and if it would be worthwhile to do so? I could see this being worthwhile if you play two machines at once and it would save you time pecking away at the buttons with one hand.
To my understanding, throwing out a gutshot straight draw costs about a tenth of a coin ($0.025) and your EV for a single hand in $1.25 single line FPDW is $0.0095. So you would have to play ~2.5 hands to recoup the lost EV from the error. The cycle of a gutshot is ~23.2 hands
EDIT: I ran some numbers, and if my calculations serve me correct, you would have to play ~13.43% faster just to break even from the lost EV
