What Was The Benefit of Downloading The Latest OS2008 Update? Is it faster? I don't really see a difference.

Your tablet stops flashing that orange exclamation point at you all the time.

The most interesting benefits of the SSU were discussed in this post.

If you want OS improvements then hope that the community-built Mer (currently at pre-alpha, only for developers) will eventually give new life to your tablet. Of course then the commercial apps (like skype etc.) may cease to function.

Oh, and I have seen the Mer, and it is awesome.
It's also entirely unready for the general public, but you don't (I think) need to be a developer on it to make use of it, just a developer type; an N810 might be advisable, though, as there's loads of non-h-i-m software there.
