If its the same thing that seems counter productive to use storage space for extra widgets.

Also, does the size of the SD card play ANY role in performance? I am using a 2gb card...
Not sure what the default app is for that... but if you have something that turns on/off the various radios (wifi, bt, 3g, gps) then use it. The less hardware ticking away at the processor, the better the battery life (I still feel the radio is a big source of battery drain... but obviously wifi is even with optimized drivers.)

To answer your question, I haven't noticed any performance differences with different cards. I haven't used a ton of cards, but I tested with a 512mb, 2gb and 8gb card with 8gb being the 'main' card I use.

I have seen comments on someone formatting their card to FAT16 instead of FAT32 and that making a big performance difference... There's also debate about the ROM that is used can effect performance.
