So you are saying that if I have a 10GB ethernet device on my computer that the computer will connect to the other local devices faster than gigabit. I can believe that the gigabit rated devices might connect somewhat faster than their rating, but even if I push bits at 10GB through a 1GB wire, I find it hard to believe that I would get the full 10GB speed. And then there is this - two of the devices are Synology NAS devices with SATA3 drives in them. How fast can they respond? People with desktop computers where they can insert a new 10GB ethernet card to connect to local devices that are also 10GB capable might see a significant benefit, but if the 10GB computer is the only device that is 10GB capable, you're still going to hit a bottleneck at the other end of the connection. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
