It depends on a number of things, including what your main is capable of supplying, the water pressure in the main, how long the various lines are in your system, how big they are and how long this 1/4 inch ID hose is. If it turns out that the 1/4 inch segment is the single greatest restriction in your system, it could be huge. Increasing the ID from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch will increase the cross-sectional area by nine times, meaning potentially nine times as much flow!
Probably the restriction caused by the short 1/4 inch ID segment is relatively small compared to the pressure drop in the rest of the system. But I would certain try to replace it with something bigger. And for any long lines, such as those going to your tanks, one inch pipe is the minimum you should use. A 3/4 inch pipe has 2.25 times the cross-sectional area of a 1/2 inch pipe, and a one inch pipe has four times the area.
