Also, take into consideration that with an increase in speed and heat comes an addition in price and power consumption. A 5400RPM hard drive will yield better battery life than a 7200rpm one. Plus it'll probably be more expensive.

In my opinion, unless you have a laptop with other stellar hardware (including a good video card), then it's not worth the extra expense.
