Yes the faster the CPU the faster the generation and the more cores the faster the generation. But then it comes to the bottleneck of reading hard drives and that is where SSDs come in.

I already have a CPU with four cores and four virtual cores a 3.4 GHz each. Actually overclocking my CPU would not really shorten the wait time -- at least not noticable in most cases.

If your computer is reasonably fast, let's say more than 3 GHz, then a faster CPU will not bring much effect if you don't speed up all the other relevant components.

Most often a faster CPU will just wait faster.
