Some selfbows shoot faster than some glass bows, but they're the exception, not the rule.
I build many kinds of bows... self, laminated all wood, sinew backed, rawhide backed, and laminated wood/glass longbows, recurves and hybrids. I once built 3 d/r longbows of identical profile, length, weight, very similar cross-section... one glass/wood, one bamboo backed osage, and the other bamboo backed yew. The yew/bamboo easily outshot the other two with the osage/bamboo coming in second. Glass allows for more radical profiles, but if the profiles are the same, glass is heavy and slows limbs down.
By the way, my favorite selfbow is 10 years old this year and has shot many thousands of arrows and still stands straight and proud. With the exception of two sinew-backed bows, I've hunted with nothing but selfbows for 16 years.
