The speed in this case will probably not increase, not that the D1 is particularly slow? Unless of course you are making NEF's, which can slow it down and fill the buffer, 21 exposures from memory?
Do you have the camera's user manual? You will need it to set the custom settings. They really need resetting to standard or thereabouts, unless of course you have had the camera some time.
If the camera is new to you how is the battery? You really need at least two GOOD batteries for a D1 if you plan to use it intensively. Batteries which appear to be good and take a charge can still not have enough capacity to fire the shutter of a D1 if they are near the end of their life, which depending on use can be as little as 18 months. A good standard battery should take about 350 images per charge. We tend towards NmMh battery conversions for the D1 and D1x which give >1000 exposures per charge and have a much longer life.
I was trawling the old Forum yesterday, there is a crib sheet with the Custom Settings for the D1. You can print it out and encapsulate it so it will survive the rigours of life in a camera bag. I will dig it out and post it here for you in the next day or so.
