Another data point ... I ran 7.6.1 on my 5300cs (40 MB RAM) and recently upgraded to 8.1. 8.1 seemed more stable and a little faster.
Then I added Speed Doubler 8(.1.2), which, IMO, made more of a difference than going from 7.6.1 to 8.1. The nice thing about MacOS 8.x is that you have some additional features, and you can use some of the later software. 8.1 does use more RAM, though.
