Sorry to burst any bubbles! But you might as well expect better lap times from adding antifreeze to your radiator fluid...
Well its more that the feeling I get from the steering wheel doesn't appear to be normal. My understanding is that the hose isn't necessarily fully functional, as many here have reported leaking and from memory bent hoses. I'm not losing fluid, but given the problem, I'm thinking there is a chance my hose might be deformed or kinked which is affecting the flow of fluid and hence steering feel.

Likely completely wrong, but don't think its that far fetched as you suggest.
