: Does the CF card use less power? Is the power savings significant?

Yes.  Yes, especially over the old, 300MB microdrivfe.

: Is the Microdrive faster than the CF card? The one listed above was 4x/8x.

Faster on write, I think, a bit slower on read.

: Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to CF vs Microdrive?

CF is quiet.  Microdrive can cope with swap partitions.
