What kind of expectation should I have on the performance of using my 400GB music library on a Western Digital 500GB external drive with Fire wire 400?

I have an iMac with 1GB RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz processor.

Will iTunes open quickly?
Will it quickly jump from one song to next when I manually select a different song?
Will I be able to delete a song quickly?

Any tips on how to set-up the library so that the songs get into the library efficiently? Their are no songs on my iMac hard drive. They currently reside on my external.

Many thanks.
