Default Need advice on a Grinder

I am using an 8" grinder to do my buffing, but seems to take quite a while to build up heat cause I can't put much pressure on the wheel without it slowing down or almost stopping.It's 3/4 hp. spinning at 3450rpm.I figure if I go to a 10" 2hp, 1750rpm,& put an 8" wheel on it to give me 3500rpm(if the math is right)I put put some real pressure on the part to crate a lot of heat to cut.Is my thinking correct or should I stay with what I have?
