What was your bike time on the course? I'm guessing if you are comfortably pushing those gears you are relatively fast.
Also, you are right that the compact crank gives up a little speed to the regular crank on the descents but the descents last so little time while the climbs last so long. I am far more concerned about being comfortable on the climbs. and later on the run.
