The room should be warmer.  Even though the air may be getting colder, there is air less moving, thus decreasing the delta t between the evaporator and moving air.

The net result will be less transfer of btu.

Fast air.  In any heat exchanger, when you increase air flow and turbulence you increase its efficiency to exchange heat.  You cannot increase its efficiency by slowing down air flow.
