Does movement (speed) across the ground vary with direction of flight (forward, backwards, left or right)???  I'm wondering if the propellor placement/orientation on the arms causes a faster speed going forward versus reverse, left or right???

Very minorly if at all due to the low speeds of the Spark.  Speed is limited by how tilted it can get minus the minimal drag at 30mph.  Maybe it doesn't tilt as much in roll as it does in pitch.

I was messing with holding clockwise yaw rotation while keeping the Spark traveling straight away from me as I walked.  Rotating the cyclic stick in a circle as each side rotated to the direction I wanted to go.  Practicing having full control of the drone regardless of what it is doing.  Tilt seemed pretty much the same regardless of the side.

Aerodynamically speaking the spark should go faster forward or backward than sideways.

Hello and good day Rustic17. Thank you for the inquiry. The speed of the DJI Spark is faster going forward due to its design and built aerodynamically. Thank you.

In P, the speed is faster, going diagonal.
20kph forward/backwards, left/right, but 30ish diagonal.
But of course, that has to do with the interpretation of the stick input, not with the abilities for the top speed in Sport.
