I found xfce4 to be slow on my 300MHZ presario laptop. You can still get
it to run ok if you strip it down to some bare services. In that case
you might as well just go with a fast window manager instead of a
desktop system. I recommend fvwm if you want speed and extreme
configurability.

Gentoo is definitely the way to go!  For a window manager xfce4 and
fluxbox are adequit but i feel dwm would work better for you on that
lappy. dwm works great on my old G3 ibook.
