As well as lots and lots and lots of RAM.

As far as I know more RAM is more important the fast CPU, so RAM is the
order of the day, and I guess it depends what you think fast CPU is, but
I wasn't planning on a duel CPU or anything top of the range. I have
some duel core's knocking around...

Any modern multicore CPU will be fine. And more RAM you have, the larger ARC / prefetch will be used (more read speed you will gain)

Michael, I sort of understand what you are talking about with ZIL, but
not completely, so thanks for the pointers, there are clearly things I
have not thought about.
