Definitely, yes. The sys 7.5.2 finder (which is, confusingly, B1-7.5.3) is
relatively quite lazy without Speed Doubler. Without it, windows twirl open
in a balletic manner, copying proceeds at a labour saving pace. With Speed
Doubler it absolutely flies. Windows snap open and closed, copying feels
like you've left the Kent line and suddenly emerged on the French side of
the Chunnel.

I understand there's a SpeedDoubler8 which does wonders with OS8. Anybody
tried it?
