If you're someone who uses a tibook for basic stuff, surfing, ms office, low end kind of stuff, would you notice a big difference, or any difference, between a 1.33 vs 1.5 processor speed?

prolly not a significant difference for just an average user.

The Rev D PBs just won't be that big a deal to Rev C owners. If you own an older PB then you'll see a big difference in speed.

But if you're just doing Office work and internet, you won't need that much of processor in any case.

For office work and e-mail, I'm doing great on my Rev A 12" PB.

For my serious stuff, my office has some Power Mac G5s.

It would be nice to prowl the highways in a Ferrari but if you only commute to work, then a Toyota, Ford, or whatever can get you by.

Naah you won't notice too much of a difference between 1.33 and 1.5 (or 1.67 for that matter). The only reason I went to the 1.5 15" is I wanted the option for 128mb of vram and the fiberoptic keyboard. I took out the superdrive option to save some cash... Damn I love the light up keyboard even if it doesn't do anything in 80% of the situations I use my PB in.

How about jumping from 1ghz TiBook to 1.67ghz AlBook? (15")

If you routinely do processor intensive tasks where the computer cranks away, like encoding stuff, Photoshop filters/actions, etc.. You will notice a difference. If you spend most of your time in Mail, Safari, and Word - you probably won't notice much of anything.

Personally I'm expecting to see some improvement over my two year old G3/800 iBook, even if all I use it for is office work, 'net surfing and occasional movie-watching.
