I love old Macs, and this mint Kanga (PB 3500, G3) intrigues me.
Is it really way slower than the Wallstreet series?

The Kanga is faster than the 233 MHz cacheless Wallstreet, but because of its older architecture and slower bus speed, it's not as fast as the second revision 233 MHz Wallstreet (which had 512 kb of L2 cache). It's still a nice fast machine for OS 9, but it can't run OS X.
I'd guess it would be just slightly slower than the 233 MHz Wallstreet w/ cache, but probably not by a lot.
I've used both (Kanga w/160Mb & Wallstreet, 233 w/cache, 320Mb) and couldn't tell the difference. The Kanga is still a quite nice machine. I prefer the Wallstreet because of the form, larger screen, more memory and ability to run X.
