Would adding a 5 or 10 gallon portable tank to my compressor be helpful?

Just be sure the tanks can handle the pressure and you have plenty of
hose size for air flow.
Adds capacity. If pumped (takes longer) to a higher value than needed
(normal) a larger capacity will last longer before it drops below the
low set level.
You can find tanks in yard sales for this purpose.

I can confirm this. I've got a 5 or 10 gallon tank that I use for my
model air brush. At 40 psi, it ran out of pressure rather quickly. At
90 psi with a HF regulator set for 40 psi, it runs out of air quite a bit
slower.
