Mozilla is pretty painful on my P166 at work, so I don't know about that..
I've heard that Galeon works alright on slower systems (Mozilla's user
interface code is the main part that's slow), but I've never tried it. 
Netscape is better than Mozilla, but still slow.  It might be worth
spending the $20 or whatever to get Opera.

I second the recommendation on WindowMaker -- it should work pretty well
for that environment.  If that's too much, there's always some incantation
of fvwm to try (the way to make it entirely obvious that you're running
something Unix-like).
