I did almost this exact upgrade about 1 year ago (only difference was 768MB RAM on T30). You should definitely dotheupgrade. To address your specific points:
1. Clock speed isslower but performance is better (not double the speed though)
2. T42 is slight large from a lengthXwideth standpoint, but is much thinner and lighter.
3. Battery life is easily double T30
