Yes, if you're getting oversteer then you're not going as fast as possible. Drifting around a track looks cool but its not very fast! When I slid in the video, I probably lost 1 sec on the car that I was chasing.

With that being said, some drivers (myself included) will intentionally slide the rear end to help rotate the car in the middle of a (typically tight) corner. But this is a specific technique and I use it judiciously.
