Default can a leaking headgasket cause......

Today I put my car in the shop for the fools to replace my headgasket which they should have done before I even got the car out from the swap, but anyways besides the point will them replacing the headgasket fix my throttle response, gasmilage, compression, overall performance? and ofcourse my oil leak will be gone.

That depends on what parts of the head gasket are blown..

Fixing the headgasket will definately help your compression, as for the other things, when was the last time you changed your distributor cap, rotor, plugs, and plug wires? If its been a while, you'll see a noticeable performance increase by changing those things.
