Yes, 10.4 has many speed optimizations over 10.3 and there are quite a few other improvements. Can't remember which software packages I installed recently but a couple of them are now requiring 10.4.2 as a baseline for some of the infrastructure that was added then. (BTW, You should update the 10.4.7 machine to 10.4.8.) 10.5 will be released for both PowerPC and Intel. Of course, the performance gap between top of the line PowerPC and Intel systems is continuing to grow as the Intel binaries are optimized further and further.
