Why not use Gentoo, where each package is compiled on the fly for the processor in question?

I have a Pentium 266 laptop with 144mb, that runs 10.x pretty poorly, well the video stinks, and I have been thinking of running another distro to see if it would be better. 9.2 ran on it pretty well.

Have you considered the time an install would take, compiling all the packages, on a Pentium 233? (Let me see - if I remember right, figure 3-4 hours for the kernel itself...)
