That should be "at what Delta-V?" More Delta-V == faster.
If, by "Delta-V" you mean "change in velocity," then that would indeed be acceleration -- which doesn't necessarily mean faster.
Think about it: I drive my car from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds, while yours only goes from 0 to 60mph in 12 seconds. At the end of that time, we're both going the same speed (assuming we stop accelerating once we hit 60mph), but my acceleration was much quicker than yours (4 times as fast, in fact).
