ASA can terminated VPN such as IPSec, WebVPN. But FWSM only have firewall feature.
You can go to cisco website and check related data sheet for more detail performance data.

More or less the "firewalling" features are similar.
There are minor differences depending on the specifics.
Also, one architectural difference is that the ASA performs operations in CPU whereas the FWSM does part of it in hardware and part on the Networks Processors and CPU it has.
Also, the ASA is more actively evolving and the FWSM is a mature and older product.
