I doubt they will use speed as a factor on its own - it depends how the speed will be factored in. If for example, Google couples together the speed factor with the page bounce rate, then perhaps they may draw the conclusion that high bounce rate of a particular page is influenced by the page loading speed and demote that page in SERPs?

Or instead they could promote pages with high speed loading rather than demote slow loading pages.
