I think the implication with the "9 speed" thing is that the base is the same length as a 1 straight forward, and as you pick it up and move it forward twice, you're essentially adding two '1 straight forward' maneuvers to your SLAM.

Counting the base as part of the maneuver is at the heart of old 'Rule of Eleven' X-wing stuff.
