Not being familiar with the nuts and bolts of Garmin's SoC's or how they run software on them, just my opinion from experience: when they've released computers advertising a faster processor, the computers are faster at everything to some degree. This includes stuff as basic as interacting with the interface (like just going through menu levels), where the improvement may not be huge, but it's most evident whenever you're dealing with navigation (especially calculating routes, but also recalculating if you go off-course, navigating back to start, or panning around and zooming in/out on the map).
Maybe that answers your question? I have no idea what kind of resources displaying and logging sensor/GPS data takes up, but it doesn't seem to impact the things mentioned above.
