So the RAM does not get added to the system. Additionally, the card slows down to 7Mhz whenever it needs to access any RAM that is not onboard fastmem. In your Situation, this means the TF536 will run at 7MHz all the time, because everything is loaded into chipmem (or slowmem for that matter).
Once you install a later kickstart, you should notice the effect immediately. Additionally you should then install MMULibs and in particular it’s ‚MuFastRom‘ Tool. Otherwise all kickstart routines will run out of the slow ROM.

I don't think any of this is accurate.
A 68030 would cache things and run many times faster just using it's caches.
The IDE controller doesn’t work to boot from because KS1.3 doesn’t contain the driver. You can load it after you’ve booted from another drive. Or inject it into KS1.3 and burn a new ROM (but you may as well use KS3.1 or later)
