There is no clear evidence for any faster processing due to using the NCS, nor should there be. The reasons for using the NCS are not related to speed of processing at the HO compared to any other method. The two main reasons are:
1. The NCS checker should proof read your application carefully and may pick up on something in your application that was missed or incorrectly entered. This can save processing delays later on.
2. ... and most importantly, you get to hang onto your passport and the originals of other key documents
