Not quite Rennyn...
From Chris Price (pcsintel) and I've seen this elsewhere, though it IS true that on a 1x device it
only affects roaming, on evdo it is slightly more complicated:

Keeping the PRL up-to-date is not critical. However, savvy users chose to update their PRLs because it provides for faster roaming signal acquisition, improved international roaming, and, on EV-DO devices, better acquisition of EV-DO data services.

On EV-DO devices it can add HDR channels, which can improve EV-DO data coverage. If Sprint is or will be deploying additional HDR channels not in the PRL in unlaunched markets is unknown at this time, so, it is best to keep the PRL up-to-date on EV devices.--C. Price

Unlike PRLs in older devices, EV-DO PRL files may make modifications to the available HDR channels, improving EV-DO signal acqusition.

I'm not saying it will gurantee a difference but you never know...
