Almost all the time unless on tarmac or super smooth gravel with average speeds over 25kph. Unless it's a insta-wagon steel gravel bike with a high and wide bars, then a 29er XC race bike will be faster everywhere.
Gravel bikes are a good compromise "one-bike quiver" but if you already have a road bike, especially a modern one with 28mm tyres, an XC bike is definitely the way forward as a 2nd bike.
