Yes, Jason, leaning always tightens the turn since the steering angle respect to the rear tire increases; but is not an easy thing to do at very slow speeds (actually, it also reduces the chance of skidding the front tire since the rear brake is constantly applied).
In Motogymkhana, Japanese riders insist on the fact that better times come from minimum radius and trajectory
of the rear tire rather than from charging the turns around the cones with much speed.
If interested, this thread discusses that:
