The 400 f5.6 is very fast focusing and (I've been told) will still focus fast with a (taped) 1.4x tc in place.
I have had the 400mm f5.6 prime for just over a week now and it is very fast focusing (not yet tried it with my 1.4x tc). Went our for my first long walk with the lens today and I agree with postcardcv- it does not feel heavy and is great to use on the 350D.
