Does fabric softener affect drying time?

No, it's the spin cycle of your washing machine that helps with drying time. My washing machine is like magic and when I take the clothes out they feel almost dry. Therefore, I save time on drying time. Fabric softeners keep clothes soft (also leaves a film on the clothes) and softener drying sheets aren't all that good for your dryer either. The film that's on the clothes clogs up the dryer filter quicker. We all like to wear soft clothing, so clean out your filtering tray every two weeks. I take the excess lint out and then I take the mesh filter out and use an old toothbrush and clean with hot, soapy water. You should also give your washing machine a good flushing out with baking soda (1 box) and let it go through all the cycles. This helps keep all hoses and the drum of the washing machine clean and you'll get a longer lifetime out of your washer and dryer.
