We have no plans to adopt the new Arduino at this time, so I'm not sure what it could for the printer as of yet.

So, what can the printer firmware do with that additional horsepower? Better trajectory planning?

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84MHz processor, while augmenting inputs and capabilities all around.
For robotics and electronics hobbyists, its a moment of much excitement. But for the rest of us, what does this new controller offer over the older models?
“Having a 32bit ARM processor running at 84 MHz allows you to do much more much quicker,” explains Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi in an e-mail to Wired.

I saw these at Maker Faire, and was quite amazed by this.
