True, but I've also recently noticed that some newer 7200's feel a lot
faster than older 7200's, without any change in rotational speeds. I'm
assuming it's due disk caching. So given identical disk caching, will a
5900 feel pretty fast too?

More data per inch.

So 5000's would have the same amount of data/inch as 7200's.
