The file sizes and processing speeds are unchanged as the electronics are
the same.. I think that this won't improve until some hypothetical future
M10 incorporates the newer technology as developed for the S2 (the Maestro
processor).
I bet you don't see this hypothetical M10 announced at Photokina.

Cheers,
