Depends on your MUA ... if you are using any of the fancy GUI ones you can do without running sendmail/$MTA on your box... but if you are using pine/mutt etc.. you don't have a choice but to install one.(unless ofcourse you want to write all your mails in an editor or online. There's not going to be any real difference in speeds... infact what you are currently using would be faster... because the DNS resolving part is taken care of at yahoo's server and you don't have to worry about it.
