Fun, but the good thing about slow computers is that they're also the cheapest; it's far more economical to just buy an old box for a couple hundred dollars (or even cheaper).
Sure, but then I have to carry around another computer or two when I want to work within a particular assumption.
Now, I can say, ``What if this box were really slow to respond to network requests 10% of the time?'' and just do it.
Carry around, repair, keep patched, etc. It's only cheap if your time is cheap.
