Doubtful. I had a visitor record starting in July 2010, app was filed in Feb. 2011, and it took until Dec. 2011 for me to get PPR. My file was never transferred outside of Buffalo either. I would also doubt it, because just the other week Ddobro2 was contemplating whether being in Canada actually slowed down the processing time for people, since it seemed there were so many of us who filed in the period between fall 2010 and spring 2011 that were already in Canada yet still awaiting PPR while we watched May/June/July applicants getting PPR before us. Of course maybe things are changing down in Buffalo, but if they are it's a very new change on their part.
Here's hoping for speedy processing in Buffalo!
Actually, y'all, what they do is every batch of files they receive, they shuffle them like a deck of cards and then assign them numbers. Then they go to a random number generator online (like the folks who have to pick out giveaway winners based on comments on their blogs) and start work on the file pertaining to the given randomly generated number. Since Buffalo is staffed by a bunch of math buffs, they assign every number that is not a prime number to a satellite office based on whether it is even or odd and whether the particular city would be "even" or "odd" if it were a number (L.A.....definetely "odd" 
). Okay, that was my bit of fun for today.
