Hardware Will a UHS Class 3 card be any faster on the 3DS than a UHS-1/Class 10 card?

Title says it all, would switching to a 128GB UHS-3 card from the current 128GB Class 10/UHS-1 improve the speed at all or does the 3DS max out at Class 10 speeds no matter what card you have? I have noticed that my current card can be slow when it comes to things like ftp and making nand backups.

No 3ds can't even fully utilise a UHS-1

To add to previous comment, O3DS/O2DS can only reach about 45% of the actual speed of UHS and N3DS/N2DS about 70% (I tested this by copy pasting a 1GB file with GM9 from one folder to another and counting the time it took exactly on each console and did the same for the same file using a computer), so no matter what you do, you can't go past that, so don't waste your money. Having a regular class 10 SD card is more than enough!
