As we see here, Bankai increases its combat capabilities five to ten times (usually) compared to Shikai, the increase will depend on the type of Zanpaku-tô, for example, Bankai of Byakuya increases the amount of blades, of Toshiro increases the amount of Water / Ice he can manipulate and so on.
Kenpachi Zaraki
Zaraki's Bankai is not so obvious the speed increase, but even so we can see the increase.
Bankai
In Ichigo's case, his speed increases greatly. Below I will leave actions and quotes that prove it.
As quoted here, the Arrancar Resurección is almost equal to that of a Bankai in terms of increase and this is quite consistent with the speed.

- Although Gerard and Zaraki held o , in my opinion Gerard was still a bit superior in speed. However, when Zaraki activates his bankai, he definitely rises above Gerard in speed. Although Gerard can react to Zaraki's first charge, on the second he can doabsolutely nothing.
Bankai
In Ichigo's case, his speed increases greatly. Below I will leave actions and quotes that prove it.
- Shikai Ichigo was definitely slower than Senbonzakura, where he was easily forked and stabbed without being able to do much. However, by activating his Bankai, it is explicit that he rose above Senbonzakura's speed, being able to casually dodge her at close range, dodging all attacksof the same, and even Byakuya doubling Senbonzakura's speed, Ichigo was able to counter all of them at the same time.
- We also have Grimmjow wondering if the only thing Ichigo Bankai gives him is a speed boost, which shows that Ichigo Bankai's biggest increase is in its speed.
As quoted here, the Arrancar Resurección is almost equal to that of a Bankai in terms of increase and this is quite consistent with the speed.
- Bankai Ichigo was inferior to Grimmjow Base in speed, Ichigo was totally subdued in the first fight.
In his second fight against Grimmjow, Ichigo dominated his Hollowficatio and rose above Grimmjow in terms of speed.
In the third fight, Bankai Ichigo was already comparable to Base Grimmjow (Ichigo has a very good evolution). Ichigo then activates his Hollowfication and soon after, Grimmjow activates his Resurrection and they both fight on an equal footing , which shows that Ichigo's Hollowfication is similar to Resurrection in a matter of augmentation. - This is also consistent with what is shown later when Ichigo enters HoS and simply moves without Orihime being able to see it. Orihime had already been able to follow him and intercept Yhwach's attacks.
