If you already own the Yew I see no point to change to SS-bow. The difference is very small. Personally, I prefer speed over dmg for the dps, but it's just personal. Like Narvad says: more powerful bows with high projectile speed are much more comfortable to aim, the projectile trajectory is much flatter which results you need less overhead correction.
The next better would be Ebony / Elmwood bow with 34 dmg / 88 speed / 56 missile speed so providing a lot of speed advantage. Along with Fiendish (37/88/65) it is the fastest in game. To get any stronger would cost damn lot of money.
Also keep in mind, it is cheaper to achieve higher damage with better arrows than with a better bow, so perhaps you might consider getting yourself new arrows rather... War arrows (+8) -> bronze arrows (+10) -> Elmwood / Ebony arrows (+12).
