I’m a noob and I don’t really understand what the impacts will be. Maybe it’ll increase speeds? I think that’s what it was getting at

The installed packages themselves won't be faster, but they will install faster, sometimes much faster.

And the reason is because you don't need to (automatically, given) download the tools to compile the package - wheels are precompiled packages for your system.
