Yes. If I don't, browsing the average page over the Tor network can take minutes for it to fully load. With uBO, the same page might take at most a minute to load. It's all the tracking garbage that gets shoveled down the link these days. All things being equal with the Tor Browser Bundle, all the tracking crap adds up to a fairly large volume of data being downloaded across an overlay network connection with fairly limited bandwidth.
