Probably, but that kind of depends on level of detail and how the raster data was encoded. I’m guessing initial download may actually be comparable or a bit slower since they’d probably send most of the data for your requested area, but interactivity will be a lot better (no need to download higher res chunks as you zoom).

And download faster as vectors take up less data space than raster bits
