Sorry, my statements are rather unclear and misleading.

It should read - a res will increase the NPSHA which will mean the pump is working less hard (and that's a big deal for centrifugal pumps which don't deliver much pressure to sart with) and reduce the chances of cavitation.
In laymans terms - it's easier to suck water from a res than down a tube.
