Yes, it does speed it up. I also noticed that when pulling a window forward by clicking on the title bar, it picks up the window. I think that is what makes it seem sluggish...if I click elsewhere in the window, it's a much cleaner and faster transition. It would be nice if clicking on the title of an inactive SystemWindow brought it forward, but didn't pick it up (unless you move the a little bit). I seem to recall a discussion about this in the past.

If you have not already done so, try turning off "roundedWindowCorners" in the "windows" tab of preferences. It speeds up window activation on my computer.
