Yes, I get the same "cuts better" effect from sharpening.
After Sandy I had a crew come in with one guy that seemed to really
know what he was doing. He sharpened his saw the same way. Just
a round file.

Some seem to have good skills at doing things free hand, but I don't seem to
be able to. When I paint I have to tape where I don't want it to go and
cover every thing that I don't want painted. The actual paint job looks
good, but I make a big mess on the drop cloths. Same with the chain saw. I
put mine in a vise in the shop and use file and guide and it just barley
cuts beter than before I sharpen it. The HF sharpner works very well for me
as after I adjust it, it is just mechanical work and no skill.
