Each extra bit doubles the colour accuracy - so that 1 bit is a 100% increase. 
Now, it may
not be very visible...

..7 EV = a 50% increase (1 EV would be 100%) in sensitivity.

If you really want a speed increase, use a 1.5/1.6 or 4/3 mirrorless camera and
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/01/14/metabones-and-caldwell-photographic-annouce-speed-booster-lens-adapter-for-mirrirless-cameras

It works by concentrating the full-frame image into half the space, reducing 
focal length
and f/stop.

You could put an OM 50/1.4 lens in a EF EMF adapter and have an f/1 normal lens!
Take that, Noctilux!
