Right now I have it running on my 8600/300 with 256 meg ram. It's definitely not breaking and speed records but I think more ram might make it peppier. Since you're used to using Unix (hopefully, not a neounixguruwannabe that uses the gui all the time) it is definitely fast in command line executions.
As for my comparison to OS 8 and 9, there is non. At least on this machine, speed wise, OS 9 blows OS X away.
