This issue is covered in \\\"Report into the Loss of the SS Titanic: A Centennial Reappraisal\\\" by Sam Halpern et al. There\\\'s an entire chapter on the Carpathia. They suggest a maximum speed of 15 knots and an average of 13-15.

@Robin. You\\\'ve overlooked the other major factor in speed: the ship\\\'s hull (and hull resistance, which increases exponentially the faster a ship goes). Carpathia\\\'s was already at its limit. But like I said, time to move on. Happy to take it to PM if you wish to continue the debate.
