It is very responsive at the command line, but unusably slow with KDE or GNOME and apps like Firefox - although they do work. With XFCE, it is not too bad; just needs a little patience. Why do I bother? I have had the machine since 1997, and it has never failed. It has been powered up almost continuously, and serves as a backup device every night. When it breaks, it is out of here.
