Usually, overdrive is like an extra gear to the gearbox, added on at the end.
An overdrive will typically let you cruise on flat roads at a slightly lower engine RPM than you'd have on the highest regular gear. A lower rpm(w/o the engine bogging down) will improve your gas mileage.
On a stock vehicle, the engine won't have enough torque to go any faster when in overdrive, so it's not a performance booster in terms of speed.
