only if it had been mapped better.
basically it's a faster processor so would be able to allow it to run closer to danger as it pull it back faster if it has to, whereas a slower processing ecu has to run more 'safe' so it has more time to react.

this is a basic view of it, although there is more going on than megahertz.
