Basically, yes. Assuming you're referring to the hard drive, the RPM is how fast the drive spins. If it spin faster, it can locate the data faster, but keep in mind it will also use more energy and get hotter.

What is the Difference between 7200 rpm HD and 10000 rpm HD?

A 7200 RPM hdd spins at 7200 RPM, 10000 RPM spins at (you guessed it) 10000 RPM. A 10000 RPM HDD should transfer data faster than a 7200, and apart from the WD "Raptor" series most 10000 RPM HDDs are high end SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) drives, and as such are built to a higher standard than IDE (Internal Drive Electronics) or SATA (Serial AT Attachment) drives.

Do faster rpm hard drives make programs start up faster?

Hard drive speeds of 7200rpm allow for it to read/write/copy data faster, but this doesn't necessarily mean it will open programs faster. If you want to run programs faster, upgrade your computer's RAM (random access memory or usually just called memory).

Is there a big difference between 4200 rpm and 5400 rpm in computers Enough to notice in the performance of the computer?

Yes, you will see a difference in performance, read tests and write tests. As rule, 5400 rpm hard drives are faster and perform better.
