The loss of just around a full volt (8% plus) through the diodes noticeably slows the speed of the fans, best to avoid them if possible.
Improving the fan ground circuit with direct grounds at the fans (rather than the factory daisy chain of grounding ending at the infamous 'stud under the dash') will also noticeably speed up the fans, particularly if headlamps or markers are on too.
