>Does extra RAM on the HP48sx make it run faster?

Yes, it does.. It does a couple things.  It makes it easier for the hp
to deal with where it puts stuff in memory.. Many times when things are 
tight as far as memory goes, it spends time trying to figure out what it 
is going to do when it has the memory to put something someplace but just
barely.  The biggest increase in speed is for things that you need to edit
or visit.  I find that it is alot faster to pop a program up  to
edit.  

Getting a RAM card is generally a good idea.. I think my calc is happier about
it. ;)
