Yep, I wax, too.  I didn't for a long time and was waxing my other tools and went ahead and tried it.  It does make a difference.

I use Johnson Paste Wax.  Whatever you use make sure there is no silicon in it.  The wax helps protect the top from rust as well as making wood movement smoother.  Depending on use I will wax around once a month or when I feel the table is holding the wood back rather than letting it move smoothly.  I use it on table saw and band saw also.
