If the battery is approved for higher C rate charging then your 6 amps is fine. Yes it will make a big difference, charging at 2C will cut charge time in half or thereabouts...
Most standard Lipos prefer charging at 1C, Charging them at higher than the recommended rate can cause lipo failure and that usually means a nasty fire.
A lot of the newer higher C rating Lipos are now approved for 2, 3 and even 4C charging, but be careful, preliminary indications are that Lipos that are continually charged at a high C rate have a much shorter life span, so... what all that boils down to is... if you have the time charge 'em slowly.
