This might be off the wall, but I was not able to get my external F/W drive to function reliably at all under 10.4.5. On the Apple Support discussions, a number of firewire problems are being reported with various devices--drives, iPods, cameras (less), audio devices, etc.
In my case, the volumes would appear to mount from the external, but access to them was unreliable. This is my backup drive, but I never got around to being able to write to it, so can't address the backup speed issue.
For me, reverting to 4.4 (via my SuperDuper backup, of course--THANKS DAVE) was the ticket. You might try that (or whatever version of Tiger you were using before) unless you happen to REALLY need one of the new/improved features of 4.5.
Just a thought.
