They should.  Of course some devices might not be fast enough to take
advantage of the extra speed.  A faster card simply has faster flash
memory that doesn't take as long to update as a slower card.  So the
card can return from doing a write (or read) faster than a slow card.

Most of the compact flash cards I have worked with have a read/write
speed of about 2MB/s which is not particularly fast.  Of course SDHC
cards seem to hve ratings of 2, 4 and 6 MB/s whatever that compares to
for the 50x and 133x speed ratings on some cards.
