In my opinion, keep the CD-ROM drive for reading CD-ROMS. That way your CD-RW may last longer.
I always thought that it was "Correct" to have the hard drives both on the primary controller and the CD drives on the secondary controller. I could be wrong though. I don't know why the way you have it would slow your computer down either.
One possible way to improve performance would be to change your virtual memory settings to 2 to 3 times the amount of RAM you have. Instead of setting it to "Let Windows Manage Virtual Memory" choose manuel or whatever it is and set the maximum and minimum to the same number "2 to 3 times the amount of ram you have." Disk Defrag weekly will help too.
Like Speedo said though, those hard drives are old. It will run slower compared to newer computers.
