iBook, boot from firewire HD?

Since all you out there with iBooks/have worked with ibooks have discovered that the HD performance is less then steller, I was thinking of booting off a firewire HD, though I'm wondering if there will be any performance gains, I'm mostly concerned with access times.

I wanted to know if it was possible for it to have two OS X installs, one on the firewire drive and the other on the internal HD so that I could just unplug the firewire HD on the go and have the system default to the internal HD on the nextboot for being on the road, and then when I get home plug the firewire drive back in and load from there. Am I the only one thinking that this kind of setup, assuming the firewire HD performance was halfway decent, combined with OS10.1 would make the ibook a pretty decent performer? Or is booting from a firewire drive even possible on the iBook?
