Razr maxx 2.3.6 - rooted

[CMDRSTP]

Sorry for the newbie question.....

What EXACTLY does a rooted smartphone do or do better than a non-rooted one? Would the "average" user see a difference or benefit? Is the processing speed so much better?

When you root you can change roms, and use different apps that let you control the cpu, take screen shots and much more, I've rooted one other phone the Droid 2 but I used a easy root program that would root and unroot for you. nervous about doing it with my maxx because I know somethings have changed and I haven't read enough (which I don't think you can ever do)
