We show that for realistic equations of state of dense matter, the universal proportionality factor relating the maximum rotation rate of neutron stars to the mass and radius of maximum allowable mass configuration of nonrotating models results from a universal proportionality between masses and radii of static maximum-mass neutron stars and those of maximally rotating configurations. These empirical relations cannot be obtained in the slow-rotation approximation.
