I ran 9.1 on the stock 180 MHz processor for about a year and was very satisfied.
For a comparison, at the same time I had a PowerMac 6100 with a 210 MHz G3 upgrade card in it. On that machine, 9.1 was very pokey; I went back to 8.6. So, I think have an idea of when 9.1 is too much.
This summer I put a G3 card in my 2400c. The difference was noticeable, but not particularly dramatic. I'd have few qualms about going back to the stock 180 with 9.1 if I had to.
I think the bus speed on the 2400 must be just enough to give what 9.1 needs.
That's my € 0.0161184.

For years I've been happy using 8.6 plus SpeedDoubler in my Comet/G3 with 112MB RAM, but I'm curious about how fast it is in real-world use vs 9.1 or 9.2 without SpeedDoubler. The Comet stays at home on my desk and connects to the internet via my Airport network through a WaveLAN Silver card, but has difficulty file-sharing with the OS X computers in the house (that is, I have difficulty hooking it up correctly).
In general, if I won't take a speed hit by moving to 9.x, I'd like to move ahead. Please, what's your experience and your advice? Thx.
