how about the D-verb test (search the DUC for d-verb test specifics)
duc.digidesign.com
or
the davec test which are specifically for protools?
http://www.studiofx.ca/Protools/PT_Test_7-Pack.htm
test your current machine
and then test your potentially new machine
and compare...
RAM and a 2nd hard drive specifcally for recording
is the key for many instances of plugins and tracks.
here is a link for a thread discussing mac scores for the davec test

forgot to ask.. what is the bus speed of the Quiksilver 1.4 Ghz vs the MDD 1Ghz?
that is likely the hardware bottleneck difference between the two systems..
the later MDDs had 167 Mhz bus' and the earlier ones were less.. i cant remember
133?
