Unless the bearings on your old wheels are horribly misadjusted and tight, the speed difference from new hubs will be infitessimal. All of the endorsements above can be explained by improved rim and spoke aerodynaimics (except Panthers007's who is obviously "pulling your chain"), not by improved hub bearings.
