Should splitting raster files into tiles increase query performance?

I have a two 1201x1201 raster tiles that were loaded by the following scripts:

raster2pgsql.py -a -r N37E126.hgt -F N37E126 -t srtm3 -s 4326 *-k1201x1201* > srtm.sql
psql -f srtm.sql TEST

raster2pgsql.py -a -r N37E127.hgt -F N37E127 -t srtm3 -s 4327 *-k50x50* > srtm.sql
psql -f srtm.sql TEST

Querying these raster files appears to produce approximately the same timing results. Should the 50x50 have better performance than the 1201x1201? Taking almost 3 minutes to query 10000 points seems to be very slow.

Number of Lat/Lon Pairs Time in secs for 1201x1201 Time in secs for 50x50

1000 17 sec 20 sec 5000 85 sec 104 sec 10000 167 sec 205 sec
