Small fees will never make transactions faster and you may have to wait even 1 or 2 days for your transaction to get confirmed and if you want faster confirmation then add higher fees and your transaction will get confirmed in around 30 minutes.
That's right, if you want faster transactions you have to pay higher fees. I don't care about how transaction fast is, to me it's ok to wait hours or a whole day. So, I prefer to pay as low fees as possible with waiting so long.
I was never convinced that a transaction with a small fee can make transactions more quickly, but with bitcoin it can happen because it is made for cheap and quick transactions.
