I have a low end Grizzly table saw which has a arbor speed of 4700. I
switched the motor and arbor pulleys so that the smaller one is now on the
motor. The saw now seems to cut much smoother and has more power. I don't
know what the arbor speed is now with the pulleys switched. Is there any
reason I should not keep the lower speed arrangement?

Ultimately you gained more power. If you are happy with it you are fine.

No he didn't. His saw has the same power as before - the HP of the motor.
To gain more power you have to put a motor on which has higher HP rating.
He did gain more torque at the blade, at the expense of lower rpm, and as you
stated if he is happy ...
