Inno db has better performance than myISAM. Also are you using mysql or one
of the drop in replacements. Reason I am asking is in mysql 5.5 and above
they have done performance enhancements to the InnoDB engine.

I'm not sure what makes you so confident that 1.4 had no security
vulnerabilities: if you have a method to produce such statements, I'd love
to know it. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.5#
MediaWiki_1.5.1> reports some security fixes and there is no mention of
them being introduced in 1.5.0. (Private wiki doesn't mean it's bound to
localhost or an intranet, I suppose.)
I've recently heard of at least one person upgrading MediaWiki from 1.8 to
1.23, if I'm not mistaken; provided that you pay particular attention to
the upgrade notices for 1.5–8, there are good chances that the upgrade goes
well, though we're not currently able to swear it. In the long run it's
hopefully less effort than trying to run ancient PHP on Debian.
