Which client are you using?  The Win32 Client? (if so, what version?)
This should not be the case; Increase in DEX should increase weapon speed,
unless you switch to a heavier weapon.

From an earlier email with questions about weapon speed (They were using
the latest Win32 client) it appears there might be a client bug.

This sounds right, since your inventory adds to your encumbrance,
essentially making your character slower.

> When I raise in str from 28 to 30 I get lower weapons speed. 

This doesn't sound right, I can't recall off hand for sure though.  An
increase in STR affects your Wc. If it affects weapon speed, it should
increase as well.

Agreed.
