Being a graphic artist, myself, I have to admit having more ram does help. Granted, now I do as little graphic work on my Amiga or Emulated Amiga, as possible (I am spoiled), but more ram does help. For example, a 640x400 png file I did in photoshop for Backbone blocks crashed on an Emulated 1200 with 4MB of expansion ram, when trying to convert it to an IFF in Personal Paint 7.1 I remember how agonizing it was to work in Lightwave 5, on my A500 with 4.5 megs of ram.
