You mean immediate nuclear fission right? Just to clarify.

With double the genetic material to work with, the organism would be able to produce more mRNA and thereby produce more protein in a given time. This would be limited by other mechanisms of the cell. i.e. the number of ribosomes and the availablity of aa-tRNA http://nz.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080205222421AARZMuR
