Faster, but not significantly, and you are correct about it being an 
issue in low light.
It can't help but be more accurate within the meter's EV range, as it is 
metering at the taking aperture, not guessing as to whether the 
mechanical linkage is within tolerance.
This may not make a lot of difference, but then again, it might, and 
digital is pretty exposure sensitive.
