Would a FW800 interface reduce latency, compared to a FW400 interface, or is latency just a result of CPU speed?

Latency at this point is all on the software side; even a USB 1.0 interface can acheive latency as low as 3 ms under OS X. That said, what FW800 CAN do is fit more channels through at a time, and this could be yet another step away from PCI-based interfaces.

Shame the only Macs with Firewire 800 also have PCI or PC card slots then...

the only powerbooks with firewire 800 are the 15 and 17 inch models, which also have PC card slots, which are simply shrunken PCI slots (give or take a few features).
