Advantage of .10 over .15 servo speeds
What are some of the differences to expect from a servo with these speeds. I am looking at purchasing some servos for a 777 sp2 buggy.

i dont feel it really but the best servos i found have been
KO Propo PDS-2368
it smooth and just the right speed

In this case you may be right but put a .2 or slower servo on the throttle and see what happens. I hate going full throttle down a straight, slamming on the brakes for that hairpin turn and the thing keeps going for a good six feet or more. I find as long as they are .12 or quicker, I don't notice any lag. Slower than that I definitely do.

No it's not a torque issue. It's a slow issue. Put a servo that slow in the car and watch how long it takes to go from full throttle to full brake. It is not instant and at 40 mph or more that delay can be several feet. The first nitro rc I ever raced was a friends RC10GT (back when they first came out) with a .23 throttle servo. When you hit the brakes it took several feet for the rpm to come down and the brakes to start working. Put in a faster servo and problem solved. If you don't believe me, find an old slow ass servo and try it out. Bet you will replace it before you finish the tank 
Of course, electric racers will find this more noticeable since they are used to instant brakes from ESC's. People who have raced nitro right from the start get used to it and don't even notice it.

but i doubt anyone could tell the difference between a .15 and a .10

That's why I said in my original post that in this case you were probably right. Though I bet you a pro electric racer might notice
