I disagree that it always means slower time to market - if the individual is empowered and minimum process (no PMs, "grooming", estimates, etc) a sharp individual can run circles around a full team.
Well, "many cases" isn't "always". A bigger team will get there faster if the development is larger than a certain size, if it's smaller then an individual can win.
