[Marvel/X-men] would wolverine's healing factor be stronger if the didn't have any adamantium?

I know that wolverine's healing is really good and I also know that his body is constantly fighting with the adamantium on his skeleton, but would it be stronger if it didn't have to? 

Would he heal faster? Would he live twice as long?

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that Logan was functionally immortal (or at the very least extremely long-lived) ageing very slowly up until the point he underwent the Adamantium grafting procedure. His healing factor was the very reason for his selection for the process, it allowed him to survive the actual bonding and ongoing heavy metal toxicity but over time this had a cumulative effect which led to his healing factor burning out in a matter of decades and causing him to age fast than he otherwise would have.
