It certainly would, or a dedicated 10BT card for that matter. I have a Farallon 10BT which is no speed demon by today's standards but works fine for web browsing on a 2400c/180.

If we are talking about MacinTouch or similar, your speed would also improve, but a fast hard drive is more determinant. Assuming you have an IBM 20GB drive or similar, I think the global village card is to blame for poor speed.
