There are only two options left on this. Either Kakashi and Sasuke are idiots for using an expensive chakra taxing jutsu like Chidori, if it had no boost in speed. And that they could use a kunai and just run on their maximum speed avoiding a straight attack against their opponent.

Or that Kakashi and Sasuke is benefited in the use of Chidori, as it grants the user boost that crosses their own maximum physical limit.

As Guy stated, "It's just a mere thrust/Jab. A jutsu made for assination. It's secret lies in the speed of the technique"

We've seen Kakashi channel Chidori over his Kunai to increase it's speed.

We have seen that Chidori causes tunnel vision when running at that speed, to which people claim to be Lee's without weight. Even though Lee and Sasuke ran in different direction in that speed without any problem and that Lee had even further on went in faster speeds without a problem

So, why isn't there even a hint in the boost in speed in the wiki page? And if the DB states that it increases the speed of the arm, then it simply means it does. Don't know how else a fast arm would be.
