Any advantage for using one-handed weapon without shield?

The game should have 10% speed bonus for using single one handed weapon. For weapon balance and fun.

If you don't use a shield in this game you just die.

If you dont have shield, you will have less encumbrance which means you will move faster. That's the advantage of not having a full setup of equipment or heavy armor.
