Is it better to QoS/throttle wireless traffic, or let clients go as fast as they can to clear the air faster?

Are there any studies of this in production? I traditionally throttle wireless clients so they don't suck all the bandwidth, but this results in them being on the air longer to consume a given amount of data, which is also an undesirable result and more or less simulates a slower/older wireless connection.
Since the whole idea is to get their data request filled and get them off the channel for the next station to use the air, would it be better to just let clients pull data as fast as possible?

Can anyone speak to this with authority or link to anything regarding it?
