I mark a couple of hundred examination scripts each summer. These are three-hour papers. The candidates who print their answers tend to have a noticeable deterioration in legibility, whereas the candidates using a joined-up script (either round-hand or an Italian hand) seem to be more likely to maintain legibility.

Yes, from my experience, writing in cursive is faster and less tiring than printing in block.
