I have found there to be a huge difference between 5400RPM drives and 7200RPM drives.
But at the same time, I have found laptop bus rates to be slower then desktops in general so upgrading the drive in a laptop may not make that much difference.

Hi gang,
I'm wondering, how much difference should there be in speed between a 5400 RPM drive and a 7200? I'm noticing my one laptop drive [5400] seems to be awfully sluggish on syncing my portage tree as compared to another box of mine, which is a much slower computer but has a new drive.
