For your boards installed on your boat, the biggest advantage to copying a new OS to the eMMC is to remove that ancient image from the eMMC, that's been blocking your upgrade path for the last 2 years. "faster" it depends.. The eMMC is an 8-bit interface, while the microSD is 4-bit interface... You can "buy" faster microSD, that even with the limited 4-bit interface that are faster than the eMMC installed...
