IDisposable with managed code

If your class implements IDisposable, I was told that this increases the
speed with which your class is garbage collected. Is this true? And if so,
how much "time" does it save? Assume that we are dealing with 100% managed
code and that the clean-up is of big inmemory data structures.

Thanks in advance.

public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
if (this.BigData != null)
{
this.BigData.Dispose();
}
}
}
