Panther has some nice upgrades in graphics performance and overall. But unless you do CPU/graphics card-intensive work, and are pushing your system you probably won't be missing much performance-wise staying with Jaguar. As for specific features that Jaguar does not have, the only ones I really make use of are Expose and Safari improvements. And you can make up for the slightly outdated Safari with a different browser.
I have an overclocked Power Tower Pro with a 900MHz 750FX G3 and an overclocked Radeon 9200. I also play EverQuest and do video editing on a regular basis, so even little boosts are noticeable to me, making all the upgrades(and time associated setting them up) worthwhile.

Too right, Peter.
Now augmented by Thunderbird, which threads my emails (although not quite as nicely as Panther Mail).
Which leaves me wondering why I need Panther rather than Jag at all.
Unless you know different.
