beachycove,
When you say "stock", do you mean 1GB on a 400 Mhz or 500 Mhz? Mine is a 500 Mhz w/ 1GB and 10.4.11. It runs pretty quick. What I've found is that you do want to quit or disable loading anything extra in the background, such as, any 3rd party processes not used or installed by OS X. Also, and others will need to confirm this, but I've notice quite a performance boost when you have more than 10-20 GB of hard drive space left; maybe this correlates with the virtual memory swap file, as it changes size while operating.
My Pismo:
=======
G3 PPC 500 Mhz (stock)
1GB SDRAM (maxed out)
1 x 60 GB PATA HDD (1 x 12 GB partition for OS 9.2.2, the rest for Tiger 10.4.11)
1 x 12 GB PATA HDD (right expansion bay; OS 9.2.2)
Airport card
2 x Li-Ion batteries
Tiger 10.4.11, OS 9.2.2, iTunes 9.1.1, Firefox 3.6.2x (ugh!), EyeTV, MS Office 2004, etc.
