What is the added undecideable sentence implied by consciousness?
“I am conscious”.
What does that speed up? Does the speed up from adding an undeciable

Not sure what you mean. I would say “no”, in theory “I am not
conscious” can also bring a speed-up, despite being obviously
consistent, like PA with “I am inconsistent”. The speed-up is proved
by constructive diagonalisation, and is thus non-intuitive, except we
can imagine than being aware of one’s consciousness might help to
planning, especially in an environment habited by conscious entities.
Consciousness is *the* speed-up mechanism. It makes us thinking using
model, semantic, meaning, instead of living the syntactical relation
at some low level. Meaning is easier than proof, even if it can be
misleading for individuals, it gives sense to sense, and priorities to
higher goal, like surviving.
That all sounds like wishful thinking and hand-waving. As I pointed out
earlier, if you try to play tennis consciously you will lose because you
will be slow. Conscious thought no doubt helps in planning, but it also
allows depression and suicide. Dogs don't commit suicide.
