It will be faster because it requires less fluid volume to fill(so a slower PS pump should keep up)... but it will have less force because there is less piston area.
If it's double ended it will be like that in both directions.
If it's single ended it will be significantly weaker contracting vs extending... but you may find it won't turn as fast as you can when the ram is extending since it's got significantly more piston area(and fluid volume necessary) to fill the cylinder up.
