Depends on the time of day. Annecy is slow during rush hours and other busy times, but otherwise I'd say that's the quicker route. And by far the more attractive.

addo, going out on a limb, and not actually being resident abroad, I'd say at this time of year, at that time on a Saturday, you should be alright via Annecy. Later on, when the season gets going, Annecy can get rather snarled up.
In April it is lovely, and well worth a stop.

addo,
You could go down to Sallanches and the Val du Arly, through to Flumet, Ugine and onto Albertville via the N212. Nice attractive route..!!!
Just an alternative..
If it were me, I'd look at N201 to Annecy, N508 to Ugine and then onto Albertville

Quicker but boring route staying on main route to Chambery I'd day. I wouldn't suggest Sallanches, Megeve and Val du Arly - nice scenery and all that but so twisty and turny going down the Arly gorge - nutters overtaking on bends etc or you could get stuck behind a slow lorry. Plus any passengers prone to car sickness will suffer

addo, It will depend on whether you stick to the speed limits. A lot of the road through Annecy and around the lake is 50km/h, the rest is 90km/h apart from the dual carriageway between Ugine and Albertville.
Going via the autoroute to Chambery takes about half an hour less for me.

There are roadworks along the Lake at Annecy which will hold you up at tempoary traffic lights for 10 mins or so in two seperate places.

It's quicker round the other side of the lake and then on to Ugine and Albertville misses all the Annecy town traffic

If you are going to take 90mins to get to Megeve, then best you stick to the motorway
