to your question directed at me, omega:
no, i do not personally notice the speed decrease, which is why i made the post, and why i put "negative" in quotes.
melee weapons were designed for burst damage (with the exception of axetinguisher) and because of that fact, attack speed determines very little in the form of usefulness.
ubersaw, negligibly slower attack speed, +%ubercharge/hit, uber-chain utility, good burst damage
bonesaw, negligibly faster attack speed, no utility, good burst damage
IMO, there is no reason to ever use the bonesaw once you acquire the ubersaw. which isn't balanced IMO since valve said early on they wanted items to feel "different" not "better"
