The accuracy of the volts or ohms reading might be affected, but any change in the "speed" of the signal is so small as to be completely ignorable. I doubt you could even find the equipment to measure it accurately

Well, the other side of that argument is that if you added the ground wires to a new car, they're going wear/corrode at the same rate as the factory wiring. At some point you'll have to fix one or both down the road.
