I have a Nikon D40 that has worked really well for the past year, but with the new D5000 down to around I think it might be time to upgrade. The D5000 has twice the pixels and twice the ISO range. For casual, non-professional photography am I going to notice a big difference? I also noticed that the framing rate is better on the D5000 (4 fps vs. 2.5). Is there enough of a difference to upgrade, or should I wait another year and see what they have next year? The D40 works great, but the D5000 looks like twice the camera for $600.

I think it depends on what part of your photography you want to improve. You should always upgrade your lenses before your camera body to really see big differences, but this camera will allow you to print bigger, take more action shots in a row, and use it better in low light. But, if your looking for better clarity and crispness, you might consider upgrading your lenses first.
