[iBook] Performance improvement with 7200rpm hard drive

[B G]

I have the same model (14")  also 4200 RPM drive, that is why I  
suggested the RAM upgrade.

Mine is very snappy super fast on app launches and start up.

Have you tried any of the cleanup utilities - applejack, Onyx,  
Panther or Tiger cache cleaner.

That may help.

I do regular maintenance on mine and it very close to the same speeds  
as the power book 1.5 I use at home.
