What kind of performance could I look for from a firewire external? My old SCSI external is fine for storage, but working off it can be clunky.
Your built-in internal SCSI-2 Fast is 10 MB/sec.
Your built-in external SCSI-1 is 5 MB/sec.
400 Mbps firewire is (speed-wise) about the equiv of SCSI-3 / Wide Ultra (40 MB/sec).
