Ordinary mortals would be lucky to gain 1/3 mph with aero wheels. On the other question, the counter-intuitive answer is the back wheel gives you more advantage if I recall correctly. Also as the front wheel becomes more aero - disk, blades or whatever, it will become incrementally more skittish with the increased lateral area.
