Do skill increases and perks increase the dual wielding attack speed?

Question

From my recent experiences with a new dual-dagger wielding character, I noticed that repeatedly slashing with a single dagger seems to be equally fast as slashing alternately with two daggers being dual-wielded, and the simultaneous attack with both daggers (M1 + M2 tapped at the same time, not a power attack) was only slightly faster (counted as two strikes, one with each blade). Does dual wielding become noticeably faster late-game from skill increases and perks, so that a player desiring a very high attack rate would choose it over a single dagger?

Answer

With the Dual Flurry Perk, dual wielding attacks are 20% faster for the first rank and 35% for second rank. Until you get this perk, dual wielding is no faster than a single weapon.
