I have OS 9.2.2 installed on a PowerMac7500 with a 604e processor

Netscape (7.02). Compared to other web browsers, it's not unlike that
elephant you mentioned - unbearably slow and ponderous. Be prepared
to have your patience tested. The full installer is available here:

Netscape/Mozilla runs faster and far more reliably with LOTS of memory. With 128 meg sticks going for around $25 there's no reason not to stuff your PCI Mac with more than enough to lavish on RAM hungry programs. Trust me, the user experience is far better in a system with 256, 512 or more RAM.
It can't compensate for a slow processor, but it'll help.
