Actually the cam sprocket will wear faster because it has slighty less oil delivery than the crank sprocket. The crank sprocket does turn faster but that is not a factor in sprocket wear. The cam sprocket is also much taller and not as rigid as the smaller crank sprocket. I have never seen a badly worn crank sprocket. I have seen pics of bad cam sprockets.
