Maybe I am showing my ignorance here since I have never actually used a grip, but how would it improve AF speed? I thought the grip was just for larger battery capacity and better access to buttons in portrait mode.

A grip improves AF speed? Never heard of that. That's like saying an air filter boosts a car's Horse Power by 100

Only if you have the fuel line magnets in conjunction with the air filter.
