Our definitions of "deadly slow" may be different.  I run Squeak on an
old iBook...

Machine Name:	iBook G4
Machine Model:	PowerBook6,5
CPU Type:	PowerPC G4  (1.1)
Number Of CPUs:	1
CPU Speed:	1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):	512 KB
Memory:	768 MB
Bus Speed:	133 MHz

...with less memory than you have and find it more than fast enough.
What are you doing with Squeak?
