Every teacher in my district uses a P133 with 32MB of RAM.  I have NFS 
swap turned on, and they have 100mbit cards (and 2MB video cards, 1MB 
just doesn't work well).

They work very well.  If you have to use the old XF86_SVGA video driver, 
then OpenOffice menus are unbearably slow (at least in K12LTSP 4.0.1), 
but other than that they are very usable.  I haven't noticed any speed 
problems at all...
