How does a transaction fee guarantee faster transaction times?

If I set a transaction fee of 10.00 BTC and make a transaction... don't I have to wait ~10minutes like everybody else for my block to be hashed?

What is the advantage of paying a transaction fee?

0.009 BTC too confusing?  Use mBTC instead!  Details at www.em-bit.org or visit the project thread to help make Bitcoin prices more human-friendly.
