I can't say, largely because "too slow" here is a matter of user
expectations. If the users in question are used to SS1s with cg3s, it
will feel startlingly fast; if they are used to multi-gigahertz Athlons
with thousand-dollar video cards, it will feel execrably slow. And of
course there's a whole spectrum in between.
_I_ certainly find it fast enough, but I am among the most
sluggishness-tolerant people I know (and I don't use GUI web browsers
at all anyway).
