In short? No. Haven't felt any difference between them.

I recently bought a Canon A80 digital Camera, and of course I am looking at buying a bigger compact flash card for it. I am wondering if there is a noticible difference in performance between a normal compact flash card, and one that is rated high speed, such as lexar's 1gb 40X CF card. Should I spend the extra $20 and get that one or does it not really matter and I should go with a generic one for much less?
