Well kick my shin and call me shiny, TEd, of course you are right! Heat slows, and rigity accelerates, wave speed. And even though the larger part of the core is liquid and wave speed dissipates with dispersal, overall speeds are higher as they go through the rigid core.
So what, you say? And so what, you'd be right!

I take back that part about me being smart, Wordwind.

And here's a URL with relative wave speeds as they go through the core.
