The performance of PC/GEOS on a 386/sx  with VGA is excellent. It feels a lot faster than
Windows 3.0 You don't need as much memory as well. I have been running with 1MB of memory
for a long time before I got more memory. I know some people that run it on 10MHz XT and
they say that the speed is OK. I haven't  tried myself though. 
Overall this is a great product, the user interface is great. 
All the tools are very useful and useable by novice computer users.
