It depends on how large of files you work with on a regular basis. For the most part, you will see actually a performance loss from FAT32, because NTFS is bloated with its binding to security features and permissions. However, if you know what you're doing you can play with the cluster allocation size when you create the partition, and you may see minimal performance gains.
The main reason you would want to go to NTFS is if you have a larger hard disk, and wish to use security permissions for files and folders on that disk. Otherwise, just stay with FAT32
