I don`t really think so. Some of these people are incredibly fast. And I mean fast - on par with calculator fast.
Once they have the skill, it apparently helps a lot with calculating in your head. You`ll see people doing math while moving their fingers like while they use an abacus - and coming up with an accurate answer very quickly. I believe it links the visual of the abacus to the abstract of the numbers in a way that makes math easier for more "visual" people.
Better than just typing in numbers on a calculator, in my opinion.
