Sorry for a late reply,
K30 is very un-noisy compared to K100D. I just took a look at my written
reviews and sample images of both cameras. K30 images at ISO3200 are
quite OK. K100D images do have visible digital noise and (depending on
lighting conditions) may even have visible horizontal bands. There are
also big differences in color accuracy and dynamic range.
I'd say that Pentax K-r was the first to have greatly improved image
quality at high ISO values. And K30 is a bit better than K-r.

One of the things that bugs me the most about the older cameras like
the K-100D, is the very noticeable noise at higher ISO's. With every
step above ISO 200, I can notice additional noise in the image. I
think ISO 3200 is horrible.
I've read comments from folks who had much newer DSLR's of various
brands, and some of those folks seem content with ISO 3200 on THEIR
camera, and I think I've even read a few mentions of folks being
satisfied with ISO 6400 for certain applications.
So, how good is the K-30 with regards to high ISO noise, and try to
compare it to an older model like the K-100D if you can. I'm hoping
the K-30 will let me shoot a few stops higher ISO without sacrificing
quality. Would that likely be correct?
Thanks,
Glen
