I doubt the speed matters, provided the stroke is uniform

I used Gssixgun video as a guide for mine and 7 to 1 ratio and it worked wonderfully.

Also on one side the strokes are more circular than the other and you can tell one side is getting more pressure than the other.

I found that a 3:1 ratio worked really well for me. As long as you get it to shave well then it doesn't really matter which ratio you use. The shape of the blade is obviously designed to take more honing on one side than the other. How you do that is really a matter of preference.
