I have a dual p200 box with 112mb ram, running linuxfromscratch.

The system is great, dont have to do anything special compilation or usage wise except enabling SMP in the kernel.
My dual p200''s can handle a higher process load than my p3 566mhz. Ill run 20 gcc''s at once on each system, then open another VT while im waiting. On the dual p200 I have no slowdown at all in the second VT, while on my p3 box the second VT is very sluggish. the dual p200 is still slower, but I can do a lot more on it at once without noticeably affecting other processes.
