If you are looking for real performance improvements then a 125Gb SSD for OS, for your Home folder and Applications would make a real difference together with a second SSD for a scratch disk would make even bigger improvements to speed.
From my contacts I am told these make a real difference and are worthwhile in a working environment.
I think OWC do a PCI card loaded with SDD chips, which slots into one of the Mac Pro PCI slots. These are even faster because they have direct and very fast access to the CPU Bus.

If you have spare PCI slots then this is a good way to go, because it leaves your normal HD slots available for HD's The OWC prices don't look too bad either...
Although I do wonder what happens to the time saved at such expense. I like a crisp computer but it doesn't have to happen yesterday for me.
