Is armor weight even noticeable with melee?

Exchange your usual gear for a peasants disguise, the difference is huge. Back when I was a ninja there was even a difference between my light ninja gear and my 'heavy' ninja gear. You probably dont have eyes, but the difference is very noticable, also when you reach top speed.

To be more specific, I class everything below lamellar as light armour (<9.5), 10-15 weight as medium, everything beyond as heavy.

Personally I see little difference between medium and heavy armour acceleration and top speeds. Light and everything else there very much is a difference.

p.s (little does not mean none btw)
