Have a look at this: http://www.macrumors.com/2010/05/31/macbook-pro-targeted-2-8ghz-core-i7-processors-due-later-this-year/
And: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ They seem to indicate that an upgrade may come in the Autumn, but it's unlikely to be before Sept 15th and won't be be earth shatteringly faster than the current model. As for the i5 v the Core 2 Duo, fractions of a second rather than minutes difference is my estimate. Of curse, the standard advice is to go for the highest spec machine you can afford in order to "future proof" as much as possible... Frank.
