Define faster. Will 3rd party apps run and/or launch faster on the same hardware? We don't know, but it's unlikely (unless dot net native is released for mobile devices). Will we see the resuming msg less often? We don't know, maybe. Will OS bundled apps run faster? We don't know, but it's unlikely, as they already are native. Will the device fly faster when thrown? Yes, if more force is used to accelerate it along its trajectory. This feature has been available since WP7 however.
