In real world application testing does it make that much difference in the overall workd ?

For example:
I can get my Dual core 2.4 CPU up to 3.6Ghz on 6,6,6,18 timings.
If I were to splash put and get memory that could manage 4,4,4,12 is there going to be any measurable speed improvement in the overall system ?

Thanks
