I just downloaded Classilla today but haven't really played with it much. The system I'm using with it is an iBook G3 300MHz with OS 9.1 and 192MB RAM (all physical RAM, 136MB is usually available on a fresh restart).
My observations so far:
1. It doesn't seem to come with Javascript plugins so I'll have to install those manually.
2. It's not fast but isn't too slow either. IE 5 still wins for speed but the interface of Classilla seems to be better.
3. The only site I have tried so far is Facebook. It worked but didn't display "normally"--a few things were missing, many big spaces existed, and there were some problems with text display. My initial blame is on the 800 x 600 resolution of the screen but it could be something browser-related (if anyone else has tried Facebook on this browser please let me know how your experiences were).
Tomorrow I will be trying Bing, MLB Gameday, KDKA-TV news videos, and my personal website. I'll also get some plugins so these sites will be able to work.
I'm also hoping an FTP client will become available for this browser. I use FireFTP to update my website and am pleased with it and would love to see something compatible with Classilla in case I want to store something on the site from my old iBook (namely photos and MS Access databases, since the iBook is my Photoshop Elements machine and is also my Office 2000 computer via Virtual PC). (I'm not really a huge fan of Access but use it for the sake of compatibility with PC users, who haven't really adopted FileMaker).
