Just go and buy a better internal drive. Jaguar isn't that bad on my 
Tibook. Panther is nicer.

But honestly, Panther runs faster so try it.

I really don't think hard disk speed will make much of a difference ie 
b/w 4200 or 5400
if you're really worried just spring for the 7200 rpm 2.5 inch drives 
by Fujitsu.

I'm running Panther on a Ti800 Travelstar 60 5400rpm drive and I've no 
complaints.
