Performance boost is good. If queries both may return a lot of rows you would probably do best with covering index. It would allow to retrieve all/most of rows with single read.

Performace depending on data size is usually non linear - when data fits in memory it is one case, when you get miss rating growing up to certain point and when it is close to some stable state being seriously IO bound.

Ie if you have 1GB of buffer pool you can get great performance with table size up to 1GB, when it will start to drop gradually (depending on your working set) with 40GB for example you may reach very IO bound case and it would be only marginally different from 400GB.
