You need to make sure you gather system statistics with both NOWORKLOAD and 
then with a representative workload, otherwise you can get some screwy behavior.

As to your question about making a difference, YES they can definitely make 
difference as the COSTS (cost based optimizer) uses several of these values to 
come up with the cost calculations of any execution plan.

See below URL for a good write up about it.

Valid points.  I have gathered system statistics on several different systems.  
They have yet to make any significant different in performance, good or bad.  
Has anyone seen a case where the system stats do make a significant difference?
