Developers shound NOT be running slow machines, but they should be
testing slow machines. I do my builds on a four way Xeon machine, and
install on a slow machine for test.
If you look at some of the response testing I'm doing, it's one a 96MB
p3-350, just for that reason. And I have a P5-133 I built but haven't
really benchmarked yet, it has only 64MB. I think the place such slow
machines are relevant is embedded, which is why I occasionally rant
about locking in code to hide Athlon CPU bugs which just wastes space on
unbroken machines.
I have a pile of 486 machines I want to run as firewalls, don't plan to
do kernel builds on those, either :-(
