How much throughput do you want (and what do you want if for)? Wireless (@ 54 Mb/s ideally) is still considerable faster than your internet connection, so disabling WEP/WPA won't speed up your browsing/downloads. If you're interested in moving large files over your network swiftly you would gain much more by ditching wireless altogether and going with old-fashioned Cat-5.
