1. ISO
2. Better colors
3. Speed
4. Viewfinder
5. AF in low light.
This will be my wish list from a camera, so far...

1. Well, in my opinion the high ISO noise profile from the EOS 40D is not a (big) step up from the EOS 450D.
2. Better colors? The 450D has very good colours. The only ways you are going to get "better" colours is to find the profiles (picture styles) that suit your taste, shoot in RAW, get better in post processing in for instance Photoshop. You won't get a difference by going from 450D to 40D.
More contrasty lenses CAN help with the impression of "better colours", or getting a camera which has somehow a more locally dynamic "character" like the 1D mk III and mk IV seem to have.
3. I guess you mean possible frames per second... yes, the 40D is a bit faster.
4. Yes
5. The 450D is actually very good in AF in low light, I do not think the 40D especially will show much improvement in that area. The 50D has a better reputation in the AF area (and the 550D also seems to have a bit of an edge over the 450D there).
