No,
It gives the motors the ABILITY to turn faster. The motor will still go the rate it's told based on the feed rate you specify. The motor will have more torque at speed, and your rapid moves (tool up) will be faster. The rapid is setup for your machine in the software setup. With 12 volts and resistors you can set it up for a higher speed then if you use 5 volts on a 5 volt motor.
So for example on a machine, if on 5 volts lets say you can go 6" per minute before the motors lose torque and miss steps, perhaps on 12 volts the motors won't lose steps until you reach 12" per minute.
