This is inexperience. Bear with me.

I recently release a program on sourceforge. However, I noticed that I
made a bonehead coding error. The error doesn't lead to a bug, it just
slows the code down a bit. So, after I correct the coding error, do I
just change the version number from 1.0 to 1.1?

Yes - if you've changed what is released bump the version number
up. Packaging systems tend to use checksums to verify that foo-x.y.z.tar.gz
is correct and this breaks if the version number doesn't increase for all
changes to the content - even fixing a speeling misteak in the README
should increase the version.
