I haven't noticed this effect. I also haven't tested extensively in  
this regard (I certainly will now). My anecdotal experience has been  
rather the other - that when I need high speed but not "full" speed -  
that the increments have yielded less noise as I move to lower ISO's  
- I'll have to do some hard testing on this.
