First I should say something I forgot yesterday: does the scsi CD drive require win/dos driver(s) to operate? If so, make sure that you take backups (and to be doubly sure, make a dos boot diskette with the drivers to see if you can access the drive) - you may end up not beeing able to access the drive after repartitionning the drive.
I don't know how much faster it will be. I'm not quite sure, but my impression is that the live CD uses some of the memory as a ram disk (and as your PC only have 20 MB, this probably is the biggest bottleneck). Secondly, the live CD has to access a slow CD drive and on top of that, it has to decompress whatever it reads from the CD. A quesstimate is that it would be 2-3-4 times faster.
