Changing the belts will not give you improved performance

Well, because of stretch in the cam belt this can alter performance (ever so slightly) due to the change in cam timing.
With long intervals between cam belt changes,improvements to response can be detected when new belts are fitted.

I think I'd play with the wife before I did that and that would be saying something
