Why would that be more likely to happen on the deck side than the free hand side?
Because on your deck hand the back of your hand makes contact as a flat surface, which is more likely to stick then when you use your non-deck hand, where your fingers are involved and it's not like you just lay your palm flat on the muck and raise it in a flat motion.most dealers I've seen do that use more of a finger cage with their nondeck hand than a flat palm against the cards.

I don't think most dealers who use their deck hand do. But sometimes the back of the hand hits the cards, which is when they may stick. But if the idea is to protect the muck, than it seems to me an empty hand is more capable than the back of a hand, especially if that back of the hand is not actually touching the muck.
Probably doesn't help time wise and I can't really explain it but without actually thinking about the speed of the game a deal who can flick the cards quickly in a sweeping motion without really having to reach over gives the impression of a quicker deal to me. The ones that have to lean over, deal, move, deal, move etc just seem a lot slower and less fluid. I particularly don't like the guys that have to slide it off the top of the deck on to the table. I've seen people do this very quickly but just doesn't look right to me.
Hands normal distance from the body and just deal as they turn like a scatter gun appears much more fluid and quick even if it only really saves a couple of seconds. Maybe perception of a quicker deal might actually help rather than an actual physical time saving?

Make any sense?
Yeah, sounds like you're talking about helicoptering.
