Nope.
 Basically, the more the Amiga has to do, the slower it gets.
 Upgraded libraries and device drivers **might** speed things up a little..they`ll probably fix bugs found in earlier versions too.

 The main things that slows down the speed of WB are the colour depth of the wb screen, icon color depth and all the visual patches that make WB look pretty.
 The first two only really apply if your`re not using a gfx card. Using 256 colour icons on a 256 colour AGA WB screen looks better than a 32 or 16 colour one, but it`s a hell of a lot slower

@Blobrana,
 Did you mean Executive ?

Just remembered  something else to help speed up WB,
Get rid of FFS and install PFS3 or SFS.
 Since they`re a lot faster than the original filesystem, icons and directory listings will come up quicker.
