RAV’s aren’t fast, if that’s what you are looking for, I suggest you’re looking at the wrong cars.

This seems a rather 'odd' question, but according to the specs (available on the Internet):

A 4.2 2.0 VVti - Power = 147 bhp; Top speed = 115 mph; Torque = 192 Nm; 0-60mph = ~10.4 seconds; Economy = 32 mpg

A 4.2 2.0 D4D - Power = 114 bhp; Top speed = 106 mph; Torque = 250 Nm; 0-60mph = ~11.7 seconds; Economy = 39 mpg

So the petrol is, on paper, marginally the faster and more thirsty of the two. Obviously the figures vary somewhat with the different models and relate to the cars when they were new rather than 15 years old ...

Performance differences are minor.  What you should be asking about is reliability.  The petrol is definitely more reliable, especially at 16 years old.
