Well, yeah a faster CPU is always going to help. IMO that's an obvious fact. I don't know what Core2 you are running but I'm sure if you had a better Core2 installed you would get a better score too.

Do some research on the Atom. (I'm not saying you haven't) You may be surprised. I think we all know that you can't compare Atom and Core2. Pitched at different markets. I bet the atom uses a tenth of the power a Core2 uses.

I have been using the Wind for a few weeks now, and i have to say that the Atom CPU hasn't slowed me down. I'm running Vista with 2GB ram, with no lagging whatsoever. I encode music, play games and surf the net. I haven't touched my main rig since i received the netbook. I have had no need for it....yet.

Also how much ram are you running?
