Chances are that adding some more CPU muscle won't help things at all.

A server can get bogged down three ways; compute, disk and network.

It obviously can't do stuff faster than the network can move it, and the
fact is, Macs are faster than Appletalk networks (if it was Ethernet then
it might be different).  And it's unlikely with any reasonable hard disk
that the problem is the disk (if the disk is on all the time, then maybe),
in which case a little extra ram for the ram cache would help.  So the
answer is probably that the extra CPU won't help much at all.
